At Sprive, we’re building an AI mortgage assistant. One that lives on your smart phone that helps you pay off your mortgage faster and ensures youre always on the best deal. The team here at Sprive believes we can really transform how you manage your mortgage and help you maximise the amount of money you can save. A recent FCA study highlights that 30% of homeowners pay up to £550 more than they should every time they switch mortgage. It is also expected that millions of people will be paying their mortgage through retirement. Dont let that be you. Visit www.sprive.com today to register your interest and youll be the first to know when we launch.

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.
