In his pitch to potential new hires, he tells them to check Pebble’s Kickstarter page at the beginning of the phone interview to see a live tally of investments.

“After we stopped talking,” he said, “I told them to refresh.”

When I viewed kickstarter page it went from 28,369 to 28,493 backers in less than 30 minutes with atleast $20K added in those 30 minutes. This is incredible.

edit: I think it was probably more money - $50K in 30 min. Did not note the old $ number - just an estimate
