Nothing Technology Limited is a British consumer electronics manufacturer founded in January 2021 by Carl Pei, former co-founder of OnePlus, and headquartered in London. The company emerged from Pei's vision to make tech fun again after departing OnePlus in October 2020, raising $7 million from prominent investors including Tony Fadell (iPod inventor), Casey Neistat, Kevin Lin (Twitch co-founder), Steve Huffman (Reddit CEO), and backing from GV (Google Ventures), EQT Ventures, and C Ventures. Nothing's founding philosophy centers on developing consumer electronics that combine simplicity, transparency, and distinctive design to improve everyday user experiences. The company gained recognition for its transparent design aesthetic, launching the ear (1) wireless earbuds in July 2021 as their debut product, followed by the ear (stick), ear (2), and smartphone series including the Nothing Phone (1) and Phone (3). In 2024, Nothing doubled its annual revenue to over $500 million and surpassed $1 billion in lifetime sales, establishing a strong global presence with plans for flagship stores in India. The company continues to expand its product ecosystem with innovative transparent designs and the unique Glyph interface technology, positioning itself as a disruptive force in consumer electronics focused on creativity and community engagement.
