This is the best summary I could come up with:

CEO Eben Upton confirmed in an interview with Bloomberg News that Raspberry Pi had appointed bankers at London firms Peel Hunt and Jefferies to prepare for "when the IPO market reopens."

Raspberry previously raised money from Sony and semiconductor and software design firm ARM, and it sought public investment.

Upton also told The Register that Raspberry Pi "does interesting work and makes money, and I don't think those imperatives are going to change.

Still, news of the potential transformation of Raspberry Pi Ltd from the private arm of the education-minded Raspberry Pi Foundation into a publicly traded company, beholden to profit generation for shareholders, reverberated about the way you'd expect on Reddit, Hacker News, and elsewhere.

The company writes that "profits from the sale of Raspberry Pi computers help fund the Foundation’s educational initiatives."

The UK government's Companies House lists the foundation as having 75 percent ownership of shares and voting rights, with the ability to add or remove directors, though that information was last submitted in 2016.

Raspberry pis were cool when small form factor PC is were not easy to acquire.

If you want to get into Maker stuff get breadboards or an Arduino or something.
