Eric Migicovsky's crazy journey to relaunch Pebble
About this episode
" At the end of the day, I really wanted a Pebble. It didn't exist. No one was building anything remotely like it. So I, without really knowing what I was doing, decided to go and make it."
Almost 10 years after Pebble's demise, Eric Migicovsky is back building smartwatches. The Canadian behind some of the largest Kickstarter projects of all time explains why he's relaunching the device he originally made for himself, the incredible luck that has allowed him to do so, and the lessons he's learned along the way.
