Carl Pei

Carl Pei is a founder, product thinker, and challenger of the status quo. In 2020, he launched Nothing – a London-based consumer tech company on a mission to make tech fun again. Backed by GV (Google Ventures), EQT Ventures, and C Ventures, Nothing is one of the only independent tech companies designing and shipping hardware at scale. In just four years, it’s sold over 9 million devices, surpassed $1 billion in lifetime revenue, and built a global community of more than 3 million people. From the award-winning Phone (1) to the recently launched Phone (3a) and (3a) Pro, Nothing continues to reimagine how technology should feel, combining bold design, intuitive performance, and user-first software. In 2023, the company also launched CMF by Nothing, a sub-brand focused on making great design more accessible to more people. Carl has been featured in Forbes 30 Under 30, Fortune 40 Under 40, and Marketing Week’s Vision 100. But he’s most at home obsessing over the details, building products that break convention and give people something to get excited about again.
