Who owns Corsair?

Corsair is a public company with dispersed institutional and retail shareholders. No single entity controls it. Private equity firm EagleTree Capital held a majority stake from 2017 until the IPO period.

What is Corsair's revenue?

FY2025 revenue was $1.47 billion, up 12 percent year over year, with adjusted EBITDA of $100.6 million and record gross margin of 28.9 percent.

Andy Paul, Don Lieberman, and John Beekley founded Corsair Microsystems in 1994 in Silicon Valley, initially manufacturing level 2 cache modules. When Intel integrated cache into its Pentium Pro processors, the company pivoted to high-performance DRAM modules aimed at the emerging enthusiast and overclocking market.

Through the 2000s and 2010s, Corsair expanded methodically from memory into power supplies, PC cases, cooling, keyboards, mice, and headsets, becoming one of the broadest PC hardware brands aimed at gamers and system builders. EagleTree Capital acquired a majority stake in 2017 for roughly $525 million, recapitalizing the company ahead of a public listing and funding the acquisition strategy that followed.

The acquisition program began in earnest in 2018 with the $46.6 million purchase of Elgato's gaming business, adding capture cards and the Stream Deck. In 2019 the company bought Origin PC, a custom system builder, and SCUF Gaming, the pro controller maker. Drop, the enthusiast mechanical keyboard and community commerce platform, joined the portfolio, and in September 2024 Corsair acquired Fanatec, the German sim racing hardware company, entering the fast-growing sim racing category.

Corsair listed on Nasdaq in September 2020 under ticker CRSR. In February 2025 the company announced founder Andy Paul's planned retirement, with President and COO Thi La appointed CEO effective July 1, 2025. Under La, the company has emphasized platform-led growth, including expansion of Elgato Marketplace and the Stream Deck's evolution into a cross-product control layer, and authorized its first $50 million share repurchase in February 2026.

FY2025 results showed revenue of $1.47 billion, up 12 percent, record gross margin of 28.9 percent, and adjusted EBITDA of $100.6 million, with the Fanatec integration proceeding and Elgato products expanding into professional broadcast channels.

Corsair publishes environmental, social, and governance disclosures consistent with Nasdaq-listed company expectations, covering responsible sourcing including conflict minerals compliance under Dodd-Frank provisions, supplier codes of conduct, and operational efficiency programs across its facilities.

The company holds no B Corp or equivalent consumer-facing sustainability certification. Its 2025 10-K notes environmental compliance obligations around conflict minerals and global e-waste regulations as standard industry requirements. Independent third-party certification of sustainability performance is not a material part of the company's market positioning.

Corsair has no major regulatory actions or sustained public controversies on record. Notable scrutiny has centered on ordinary hardware industry matters: product quality complaints common to the category, warranty service criticism in consumer forums, and the disclosure sensitivity around founder Andy Paul's retirement transition. None constitute regulatory findings.

The Fanatec acquisition attracted attention because it followed Fanatec's 2024 insolvency proceedings in Germany, a restructuring Corsair navigated to acquire the assets and brand. The integration has since been cited by the company as proceeding successfully with strong sim racing demand.
