Raspberry Pi Holdings plc is a British technology business focused on designing and manufacturing single-board computers (SBCs) and modules, marketed as Raspberry Pi, for use by private individuals, including enthusiasts, and businesses. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index.

History

In 2012, a charity established to promote the study of computer science, the Raspberry Pi Foundation, set up a new commercial entity responsible for developing and manufacturing its computers, namely Raspberry Pi (Trading) Ltd.[2] It installed Eben Upton as CEO.[3]

One of the company's objectives was to make the product affordable to schools and school children and, in 2015, it launched the Raspberry Pi Zero at a selling price of US$5 or £4.[4]

In 2021, Raspberry Pi (Trading) Ltd changed its name to Raspberry Pi Ltd.[2][5] Its newly-formed holding company, Raspberry Pi Holdings, was the subject of an initial public offering on the London Stock Exchange in June 2024.[6][7][8][9] As a result of the initial public offering, Raspberry Pi Holdings' largest shareholder, the Raspberry Pi Foundation, was diluted from holding 77.31% of the company to just 49.08% of it.[1]

Operations

The company uses Broadcom as supplier of system on a chip components and Sony as manufacturer of most of its products.[10] As of June 2024, the company had sold 60 million single-board computers.[11]
