I can’t even get their product anywhere at a decent price, why should I invest in this company?

  It doesn’t sound like you invest, then. You’re describing a product with well known stock shortages that have, in floating, unlocked a bunch of capital which can among other things help them scale their production to meet demand. That sounds like a good thing both as a shareholder and as a consumer.

    How am I supposed to know if something is worth investing in if I can’t even use it? A pinky promise that maybe I’ll be able to get one someday isn't a good deal. I want to know what I am getting when I put my money in. Maybe if I was a VC and that’s what they were begging for my money for, but as a retail investor the value proposition is basically nothing. The company markets itself as an educational tool, but 70% of its sales are industrial? Like I get “bringing low cost computers to everyone” feels and sounds good in press releases but when the business actually focuses on something different - that seems counterproductive to their stated goal - what am I supposed to take from that?

    I am concerned that ultimately whatever supply chain and manufacturing improvements they see from raising this capital will benefit their commercial/industrial customers more than their non-profit/educational/enthusiast customers. I'm not asserting that will happen, but I'm concerned it will. Where I am it has been next to impossible to order a non-kit model of Pi released within the past several years since at least mid-pandemic. I started buying up SFF Lenovo boxes on eBay, which I've been somewhat happier with since I never used some of the Pi's standout features like GPIO.
