In its last reported results filing – for 2022 – the company had revenues of £187 million for a profit of £20 million.

It is reported that the company will be looking for a valuation of up to £500 million. The company raised funds last year at a valuation of £447 million.

It is said that part of Raspberry Pi’s current pitch to investors is that it can sell more product to businesses and internationally.

Arm and Sony are both investors in Raspberry Pi.

A plan to float in 2021 was dropped when markets looked unfavourable.

Raspberry Pi is controlled by the Raspberry Pi Foundation which is a charity serving educational purposes and which owns Raspberry Pi Ltd which makes and sells the products giving the profits to the Foundation.

Presumably, if Raspberry Pi Ltd is IPO’d, it will pay future profits to the shareholders which might, or might not, include the Foundation depending on whether the Foundation retains a share in Raspberry Pi Ltd after the IPO.
