Carl Pei’s Nothing Technologies has invited users to invest in the company, asking them to get involved in the development of the company and its products.

Essentially, Nothing wants to involve its users right from the funding stage to product development, which is a slightly tweaked version of crowdfunding. Those who have followed Nothing’s founder Carl Pei would know that this is a way to get the community involved and generate hype – a recipe that has worked well for OnePlus.


Carl Pei had co-founded phone maker OnePlus -- based in China -- in 2013 along with Pete Lau. Pei announced his departure from OnePlus in October, 2020 and founded Nothing in January, 2021.


What is Nothing all about?

Nothing is a consumer technology company based in London. While not much is known about its plans, Pei has announced that Nothing will launch a pair of truly wireless earbuds.

Nothing has also acquired Essential - the company which was founded by Andy Rubin, the co-founder of Android Inc.

At the moment, Nothing has invited interested users to sign up with their email and desired investment amount on its website, nothing.tech.

At this point, it seems that users based out of any country can invest in Nothing, but rules in this regard will vary from country to country. Additionally, more details about this will be revealed by Nothing once the investing platform goes live.
