Former OnePlus co-founder, Carl Pei, announced his exit from the company last October to start his own venture. In December, he revealed that his new startup has raised $7 million but revealed little details about the business. If you are curious just as we are, you should look forward to next week.
Today, Carl Pei took to Twitter to announce that the audio brand will be unveiled next week on January 27th. While that is exciting news, the founder will also be giving away 10 units of the new Apple M1-powered Macbook Air.
We’ll announce our new brand on the 27th and feeling grateful for all the support we’ve gotten thus far. Received M1 #MacBook Air for the team, and thought of doing a #giveaway for our community.

The giveaway is open to everyone from across the globe and winners will be selected on January 31.
There is little we know about Carl Pei’s new company other than that it will deal in audio-related products, though that may change later in the future as companies are known to expand their portfolio as they grow bigger.
The money raised for the startup last month was raised from family and friends that include notable names such as Casey Nesitat, Kevin Lin who co-founded Twitch, Tony Fadell who invented the iPod, Steve Huffman of Reddit, and Josh Buckley who is the CEO of Product Hunt.
