@shobeir Was there any specific reason why your team went with Kickstarter again, instead of going directly in stores?

@shobeir @gregbarbosa Haven't you seen the buzz yet? 2 million in 1 hour and crowdfunding as marketing campaign. The product is kind of ready and they have funding enough to launch without the Kickstarter campaign!

@shobeir @gregbarbosa Getting our latest and greatest in the hands of our most fervent supporters is a big deal to us. Nurturing and growing the deep connection we have with our community is the only way we want to move forward as we grow and learn in this space.

@shobeir @gregbarbosa @jisforjoe That's a great attitude. However, I would have thought doing that directly on your own site (where you can control all aspects of the experience) would have been better than in the confines of the KickStarter platform.

@shobeir @gregbarbosa We decided that launching Pebble Time on Kickstarter was the most efficient way to get the word out. We're a small company, up against the largest company. We wanted to communicated directly with our core community, the people who use Pebble every single day and our original backers. KS is the right platform on which to do that.
