Raspberry Pi

The company operates an ecosystem-led hardware business. It designs and sells single-board computers and accessories, then reinforces demand through official software, onboarding tools, remote access capabilities, and educational content. Free or low-cost software reduces setup friction and increases device utility, while books and magazine subscriptions provide supplementary monetisation and deepen user engagement.

Raspberry Pi Holdings plc is the UK-listed parent company behind the Raspberry Pi computing ecosystem. The business is centred on low-cost single-board computers and related accessories, supported by official software products such as Raspberry Pi OS, Raspberry Pi Imager, Raspberry Pi Desktop, and Raspberry Pi Connect. It also operates a publishing arm, Raspberry Pi Press, which produces books, magazines, and educational content for the maker and computing community.

The company primarily makes money from hardware sales, with software used largely to support device adoption, onboarding, and ongoing engagement rather than as the main direct revenue source. Its customers span hobbyists, developers, educators, students, device integrators, and some IT users managing Raspberry Pi devices remotely. Publishing and subscriptions provide a secondary revenue stream, while the software layer strengthens ecosystem lock-in and community participation.
