# Nothing

> Nothing is a London-based consumer technology company founded in 2020 by Carl Pei (co-founder of OnePlus). Nothing's mission is to make technology fun again through iconic, human-centered design. Nothing products are distinguished by their transparent hardware aesthetics, the Glyph Interface LED system, and Nothing OS - a clean, customised version of Android. By 2024, Nothing surpassed $1 billion in lifetime sales, selling over 7 million devices globally.

Nothing operates two brands:
- **Nothing** - flagship and mid-range smartphones, premium wireless audio
- **CMF by Nothing** - budget-oriented sub-brand (spun off as a standalone company in India in 2025) focused on accessible design and core functionality

Nothing's investors include GV (Google Ventures), EQT Ventures, Tiger Global, Tony Fadell (inventor of the iPod), and Casey Neistat. Global Brand Ambassador and shareholder: Charli XCX (since May 2026).

Nothing OS is a closed-source, customised version of Android. Key software features include: Essential Space (AI-powered personal organisation), Essential Notifications, Essential Voice (speech-to-text transcription and translation), and Glyph developer API.
