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.

In Greek, “koukoutsa” means “peekaboo”: a simple, joyful game that celebrates connection, presence, and the delight of being seen. At its heart, koukoutsa reflects this very essence: ensuring every child is seen, remembered, and safe. Our journey began with an urgent realisation. Busy schedules, fatigue, and human error have led to heartbreaking incidents where children were accidentally left behind in vehicles. These tragedies remind us of the importance of creating tools that support parents and educators in safeguarding children’s well-being. Koukoutsa was born out of this shared responsibility and a desire to make a difference. Our platform provides kindergarten and nursery school teachers with a seamless way to mark attendance and send real-time absence alerts via SMS. By bridging the gap between schools and families, koukoutsa helps prevent delays in communication and ensures that no child is ever overlooked. For us, koukoutsa is more than a platform; it’s a commitment to child safety, supporting overwhelmed parents, and empowering teachers. Together, we’re turning technology into a protective shield, one that champions connection and care for the youngest members of our communities.
