Its impact reverberated across financial markets, prompting debates about tech’s vulnerability to protectionist policies.
  • Raspberry Pi profits drop in first results since IPO This March 2025 analysis dissected Raspberry Pi’s 50% profit decline post-IPO, linking it to semiconductor shortages and education-sector demand shifts.

Beat Analysis & Pitching Recommendations

1. Focus on Tech Policy Crossroads

Bradshaw prioritizes stories where regulation collides with innovation, such as his 2025 coverage of UK-US digital tax negotiations. Pitches should highlight unresolved tensions—e.g., AI ethics frameworks or antitrust cases—with clear stakes for multinational corporations.

2. Highlight Underreported Market Catalysts

His Raspberry Pi piece exposed how niche hardware companies serve as economic indicators. Successful pitches might explore similar overlooked sectors, like quantum computing startups or EV battery recyclers, tied to broader financial trends.

3. Avoid Consumer-Focused Gadgetry

While Bradshaw covers Apple’s corporate strategy, he avoids product launches or gadget reviews. Pitches about iPhone features or smart home devices will likely be dismissed unless they tie to supply chain or regulatory angles.
