Idea

Tech used to mean momentum and excitement. But today, we feel there’s scepticism and apathy.

Nothing aims to bring back optimism and make tech feel exciting again.

We want our products to be unique, not all the same. Part of an open ecosystem that’s so seamlessly woven into people’s lives, it feels like nothing.

Our first product, the wireless earbuds Nothing ear (1), was one of the most anticipated launches of 2021. We sold in 40+ countries at iconic retailers like StockX, Selfridges and KITH. To date, we’ve shipped nearly half a million units.

Year one was about getting ready. We are now a 300-strong team and recently unlocked approximately $70M in a Series B funding round, co-led by EQT Ventures & C Ventures, bringing our total raised to around $144M. Our incredible partners include Google, Samsung & Qualcomm.

It was always meant to be about year 2. This summer, we're launching our first smartphone, phone (1). It’s a breath of fresh air for the market. And the first step of many.

We want to bring you with us. This is your chance to invest in Nothing. Our first community investment round raised a record-breaking $1.5M in 54 seconds on Crowdcube. This time, we have $10M so that more of you can join us.

As a stakeholder, you’ll get exclusive access to our community and could be elected as the Community Board Observer. Let’s shake up consumer tech together.
