Our take

Canonical originally started as a company to help distribute Ubuntu (an operating system based on Linux). It is now a leader in delivering open source to the world quickly, securely and cost effectively.

With a community of 200,000, Canonical publishes an operating system which runs from the tiny connected devices up to the world's biggest mainframes, the platform that everybody uses on the public cloud, and the workstation experience of the world's most productive developers. Just some of its partners include Microsoft, HP, Dell, aws, and Intel.

The founder has highlighted that Canonical's biggest challenge has been that demand is bigger than the company’s ability to service it. Originally a not-for-profit, Canonical is now monetising and is planning to go public. It also announced its product Ubuntu has a comprehensive subscription version called Ubuntu Pro, likely to aid monetising efforts.
