What if we could turn visits into long-term relationships ? At Pongo, we erase all the frictions in the customer journey : no app to download, no loyalty card to carry, no registration form to fill in. With a touchscreen integrated to the point-of-sale, we help merchants to create different types of customer engagement systems (game contests, loyalty programs, sponsorship, private events…etc). Customers easily sign up and check in with their phone number and are rewarded for their loyalty. We help merchants by sending automated text messages via our SMS chatbot to collect more accurate customer information and offer incentives to bring back lost customers.

Nothing exists to make tech feel exciting again. We’re building a different kind of company, one that puts design, emotion, and human creativity at the heart of everything we do. From the way our products look to how they sound, feel, and function, we care about the details that make technology not just useful, but inspiring. This is a place for the curious. The creators. The ones who ask why not and mean it. If youre drawn to bold ideas, fast moves, and work that actually makes you feel something, you’ll fit right in. Were not here to follow the rules. Were here to make better ones. Founded in London in 2020, Nothing is a design-led tech company building an alternative to the industry giants. Our products, from award-winning smartphones to expressive audio and wearables, blend iconic design with intuitive engineering to put people and creativity back at the centre of consumer tech. Backed by GV (Google Ventures), EQT Ventures, C Ventures, and influential investors like Tony Fadell (iPod), Casey Neistat, and Kevin Lin (Twitch), we’ve grown from startup to global challenger in just a few years.
