We believe that the best technology is beautiful, yet natural and intuitive to use. When sufficiently advanced, it should fade into the background and feel like nothing," he said in a statement.The company aims to inspire people to believe in the positive potential of technology, and will set the pace starting in 2021."Consumer tech is a tidal wave of limitless potential. Nothing will be the brand at the forefront and I can't wait for the world to experience its products," said Casey Neistat, YouTuber and an investor in "Nothing".The Swedish tech entrepreneur co-founded OnePlus in 2013 at the age of 24.After nearly seven years, Pei made the "difficult decision" of leaving the company in October 2020.Shah has invested in multiple sectors through his career and this investment is in his personal capacity.
