Piperby Mark (co-founder; full name not stated in source)
Piper sells a $299 do-it-yourself computer kit, built on a Raspberry Pi, that children ages 7 to 12 assemble themselves before playing a Minecraft adventure story mode. The company raised over $250,000 on Kickstarter, joined 500 Startups, shipped its first units in December 2015, and reported over 4,000 customers by mid-2016. Its growth depended heavily on holiday sales and a push into reseller and retail channels.
