Carl Pei
裴宇
Carl Pei is the co-founder and CEO of Nothing, the London-based consumer tech company he started in 2020 after leaving OnePlus, where he had been a co-founder . In the five years since, he has steered Nothing from a startup pitching "seamless digital futures" through a $70 million Series B in early 2022 to a $200 million Series C in late 2025, with Qualcomm Ventures and Indian entrepreneur Nikhil Kamath joining as strategic investors . The latest funding round came with a pivot in positioning: Pei described Nothing's next move as building an "AI-native device" category, integrating AI experience directly into hardware rather than layering it on top . As 暗涌Waves noted in 2022, his founding premise was to combine China's engineering and supply-chain depth with European industrial design and brand marketing to "continuously create iconic tech products" .
