To the Moon: Pebble Time reaches 38 thousand backers, $8 million in less than 24 hours

Pebble Time

And just like that the Pebble Time smart watch has reached over 38 thousand backers and a whopping $8 million pledged. Granted Pebble could have gone the traditional route, but it’s one of the legendary Kickstarters and there’s no denying this is great marketing.

Less than 24 hours since the campaign launched it’s closing in on the previous campaign, $10.3 million, but at this rate it should break all records.

The crowdsourcing campaign that brought in the most backing is the Coolest Cooler, which launched on Kickstarter at the end of August last year. It brought it $13.3 million from 66 thousand backers.
