Internet Icons: Eben Upton, Raspberry Pi

Eben Upton in conversation about building Raspberry Pi from a Cambridge idea for getting more young people into computing into a listed technology company that has shipped tens of millions of boards. The thread is the early decisions — studying and teaching computer science at Cambridge, engineering at Broadcom, then designing a programmable computer cheap enough to be bought on a whim — and what he has learned from making something that shaped how a generation learned to build. Hosted by Granola at their Old Street office. Doors 17:30, talk starts at 18:00 and the doors close then. Free, approval-gated, drinks and snacks provided, and the organisers expect it to be heavily oversubscribed. Why go: founder conversations this candid with someone who actually built hardware at scale are rare in London. Best for hardware and deeptech founders, and anyone who learned to code on a Pi.
