    And for what reason exactly? IPOs are either for owners to cash out or for the company to gather investment money. RPi doesn’t really need money, they sell an extremely popular product. They literally can’t produce enough product to quench the Pi thirst.

      this is the heart of the matter.

      business majors are taught if youre not growing your failing. if its not quarter over quarter kpi improvements youre failing.

      businesses dont get to just be. they are constantly forced into always getting bigger or more profitable apparently no matter what.

      any solid little company ends up getting bought and injected into the verticle… because humans are weak, and almost all of us have a price.
