Consumer Tech Brand Nothing Secures Over $8 Million in 3rd Community Investment Round

London-based consumer technology company Nothing has raised over $8 million, or about ₹72 crore, through its 3rd community investment round, according to news reports.  

The round brought in more than 5,000 new investors, adding to the company’s existing base of retail shareholders. 

The investment was offered at a valuation of $1.3 billion. Participants in the round came from over 80 countries, indicating wide geographic participation among individual investors rather than institutional funds. 

Investor Base and Cumulative Contributions 

Following the latest round, Nothing’s community investor base has increased to around 13,000 people. Together, these investors have contributed more than $16 million across the three community investment rounds conducted so far. 

Community investment typically allows individuals to invest in privately held companies in exchange for equity. Such investments are not traded on public markets and are separate from venture capital or private equity funding. 

Recent Institutional Funding 

As per news reports, the community round follows Nothing’s $200 million Series C fundraising completed in September 2025. The Series C round was led by Tiger Global and included participation from GV, Highland Europe, EQT and Qualcomm Ventures. 

The Series C funding was raised independently of the community round and represents the company’s primary institutional capital raise in the past year. 

India Operations and Manufacturing Plans 

Earlier this year, Nothing announced that CMF, which had operated as a sub-brand, would function as an independent subsidiary. The company stated that CMF would establish its global headquarters in India and use the country as a base for operations, research and manufacturing. 

Nothing has also entered into a manufacturing joint venture with Optiemus Infracom, an Indian electronics manufacturer. The joint venture is intended to support domestic production and exports of products sold under the Nothing and CMF brands.  

The 2 partners have committed to invest more than $100 million, or about ₹887 crore, into the venture. The project is expected to create over 1,800 jobs in India over the next 3 years.
