OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei's London-based consumer tech startup Nothing has now raised a whopping $70 million Series B fundraise. The round was co-led by EQT Ventures and C Ventures and included follow-on investors GV and Tony Fadell’s Future Shape.
The funding will be used to create new product categories in partnership with Qualcomm Technologies and its Snapdragon platform and develop operations at its new London Design Hub. The company is also looking at a new community investment round soon.
The additional investment brings its total raise to $144 million to date, including $1.5 million from its first community investment round. It had earlier been backed by Google Ventures (GV), the venture arm of Google’s parent company, Alphabet.
Carl Pei, co-founder and CEO, Nothing said: “With this funding, we can now work on the next phase of our vision of a seamless digital future.”
Adrian Cheng, founder and CEO of new world development at C Ventures said: “Nothing is on a mission to break the hegemony of consumer tech giants and embark on an ambitious journey to challenge the status quo.
