UK based tech brand Nothing has raised more than $8 million in its third community investment round. The company added around 5,000 new investors during this phase. These investors came from over 80 different countries.

The latest round allowed fans to buy shares in Nothing at a valuation of $1.3 billion. This means community members can now benefit financially as the company grows. Nothing said the response was bigger than expected. The company shared that when early access opened on December 10, it did not expect the community to expand so quickly.

With this round included, Nothing now has close to 13,000 community investors. Together, they have invested more than $16 million since the program started. The money will be used to support Nothing’s future plans. The company wants to rebuild its hardware foundation around AI focused operating systems and connected devices. These new products are expected to launch from 2026 onward.

Founder and CEO Carl Pei said the round was not just about funding. He said it was about keeping the community involved and growing together.

Nothing has also attracted major institutional backing. In September 2025, the company raised $200 million in a Series C round. Investors included Tiger Global, Google Ventures, Highland Europe, EQT, and Qualcomm Ventures.

Nothing says the strong response shows growing momentum. The company believes this support puts it in a strong position as it prepares for the next wave of AI powered consumer technology.
