Wasn&#x27;t it supposed to be a charity&#x2F;non profit foundation?<p>Isn&#x27;t an IPO kinda the opposite of that?<p>Or is is the fashionable thing these days to claim to be non-profit when you&#x27;re young and looking for grassroots support, only to transform when there is money to be made?

Ah, this may explain their abandonment of the &#x27;hacker&#x27; community and weird hostility towards them over the last few years.<p>They&#x27;ve gone from a fun project and education focused company who was mostly operating under their non-profit arm to better education, to a B2B enterprise supplier with a heavy handed and sometimes outright hatred to their original user base.<p>For a proof of concept, pop onto their forums, create an account and make a post asking how to do something fairly basic, see how quickly you get yelled at and banned for life.

To me it feels like the Raspberry Pi Foundation hasn&#x27;t met its objective of making computers accessible and affordable to everyone (especially children in disadvantaged areas). Each iteration is so expensive and previous iterations don&#x27;t lose value or are made cheaper. It&#x27;s more prudent to spend a bit more for a mini-pc. In South Africa, the average child from a disadvantaged background has no chance of buying a Pi.<p>Arduino on the other hand, open sources the hardware, meaning very cheap but less powerful SBCs from companies in China (and elsewhere).<p>They should be doing the same as they have the ecosystem and resources to mass produce very cheap boards, but the Pi is prohibitively expensive, and it looks like they cater to companies first and prioritise making a profit.

On the one hand I&#x27;m happy they&#x27;re doing well. On the other I&#x27;m <i>very</i> much worried that floating the stock will make it plaything of people who couldn&#x27;t care less about what the Raspberry Pi and the people behind it stand for, they&#x27;re just going to use the stock to make money, or, alternatively, to make trouble.<p>Being a listed company is a source of all kinds of distractions.

To clarify, this is Raspberry Pi Ltd (formerly Raspberry Pi Trading Ltd), a subsidiary of the Raspberry Pi Foundation (the charity).<p>I&#x27;m curious how this will affect the foundation&#x27;s mission, but I guess they are already affected by the outside investments from previous fundraising rounds.

Wow , exciting!<p>I must admit , I worry going public might actually be a bad thing for the Pi org. Exposure to the winds of quarterly earnings reports and hardware timelines can often conflict...<p>I have no real evidence to support that feeling, but I have it just the same.<p>Excited to see where this leads!

So who gets the $500m or so they&#x27;re suggesting the IP will raise? Is that going to be injected into the foundation in which case they could do a lot with it (presumably with some guardrails to prevent them clashing with the PLC)

They have a decent brand name and mindshare but I don’t think the hardware is compelling enough.<p>Loads of copy cats and the 5 generation feels like it’s at the edge of what the market can bear pricing wise.<p>Idk I just don’t see the IPO rationale

I had no idea this was even on the cards. Do they really need to IPO? Why do they need to chance infinite stock market growth?

Warning though - finding the IPO shares&#x2F;stock to buy will be nearly impossible.
