Additional funding and a new partner.

You’ve already gotten your eyes and ears on our first-ever product. And we’re more focused than ever on keeping the momentum going and driving our mission...

Yeah, indeed. Probably through TE they got in touch with them. I guess Axwell and Ingrosso are huge fans of TE with their carry-in-the-bag DJ (??) equipment

That are some good news! I’m happy to see that you secured another funding and even partnered with qualcomm! Seems like nothing gets slowly more and bigger attention 😁

Let’s see where this leads to! A new phone would be really cool but I’m sure this is something for later as @[deleted] wrote already those chips are broadly used. I mean we have seen already some user concepts, and every single one looked really unique.

So anything is possible!

Would be interesting to know on what valuation they invested.

could still happen with qualcomms quick charge tech

Qualcomm has a lot of chips, with ANC, smart watch etc.. other that phones, I wonder what is on the horizon….

I still think a power bank is the way to go, it’s something that’s not to crazy like a smartphone or whatever, instead it’s simpler to create and cheaper for the customers. Also the possibilities of transparent design are nearly endless, imagine just a transparent part exposing the main battery module. A wireless charger would be sick, a small display displaying the battery level would be pretty cool but it would be even more expensive.

All I’m saying is if we do end up getting a power bank I personally wouldn’t be disappointed at all.

Congrats @Rudi! This is big news again! Thrilled to see where this takes Nothing and really wanna see what the next product is now that the partnership is announced! 👀🤙

Congratulations to NOTHING and all the Community members. It’s actually a great news. Qualcomm has almost all the required chips in the Tech industry. It’s bring the company stability and transparency in what ever it requires. Now the company has all the big guns like Google, Qualcomm and the quality of Teenage engineering. With all these the company can go blazing. Now we have the capability of building an ecosystem.

I am remembering a song from F&F Hobbs and Shaw. It is - Next Level by Aston wyld 😂.

Congratulations 🎉

It’s amazing to have this strategic partner so early on in the game!

@Rudi is the latest valuation for this funding round confidential or will you announce it publicly?

Carl

Hey guys, stepping in to provide additional color to the round.

In regards to what the valuation is and who the investors are, we are not announcing this info right now because it doesn’t fit our current goals. Hope you can understand.

We’re super humbled by the support coming in from all around – supply chain, strategic partners, and investors and will keep pushing ahead.

And especially the faith from our community. Betting on us was bold, considering all we told you about about our future roadmap were a bunch of Pokemon names.

I’m getting so DROWZEE by all these great news. It was kind of ONIX-pected that Swedish House Mafia stepped in, but we like it!

No worries about name-dropping. You already have some very big names dropped on the official list. We understand and that isn’t as important at this stage. Hyped - let’s GO!

Carl

We bet on you because you’ve proven to us with things you’ve done in the past that you will deliver. With the team that you have around you, with the loyalty that you have from your colleagues and coworkers, how can we not bet on you? Then add Teenage Engineering to the group, and now a partnership with Qualcomm? The sky is the limit!

It takes a lot of courage to do what you and your team are doing. Most people will never understand the difficulties of starting a new business within a space that is controlled by power house companies. The only thing we do know is that you are in charge with a great team and support system behind you. We bet on you because you have proven to us that you will deliver great products all while listening to us and taking us into consideration. There is nothing more powerful than a person bold enough to do what they want, while leading and listening to everyone supporting them.

I can only second this. I think Nothing has the right mind set and they seem to be very goal-oriented. As long as these kind of news keeps dropping I´m satisfied and specifics/details will uncover over time. Like @Carl said; we belived in Nothing when it was nothing ( 😆 ) but Pokemon names.

Buckle up…

Cheetosdust

This was sort of expected but it’s exciting nonetheless.

Cristiano Amon, CEO and President of Qualcomm, replied to Carl on Twitter about the newly-announced partnership, as you can see below.

And Carl replied to that message thanking him for the trust.

I have to say, @MeghaVishwanath is celebrating the additional funding the right away. 😋

@Carl

I’m waiting to see when there is additional funding so I would like participate. It won’t be the first time I’ve participated in a similar venture (already two failures with Kickstarter) except that for this one, I know who I’m talking to by participating.

Carl, you’re not just anyone and you’ve already proven your expertise with OnePlus. I’m sure that in your head, everything was ready for this adventure when you left OnePlus. You know how to surround yourself with good people, and we see a glimpse of that every day when we’re on the community forum, and on Discord now.

I tried to be there at the beginning of Nothing, I signed up in July to be part of it, but some external and personal events delayed my acceptance on the forum and to this spirit.

I’m proud to be part of this universe now, even if I’m only a small cog in the whole, but small cogs are there to carry upwards and forwards.

I aspire and hope to participate even more in the spirit that is Nothing with the means I have (uh sorry I don’t have fortune in metavers, nor oil, nor mafia)

Congratulations to you Carl, and to the whole team around you.

You have all my humble respects. Thanks a lot for all.
