Exactly my thoughts - I'm very willing to fund projects with leaders and teams that have a strong history of delivering. I threw in for Pebble because I knew the team had experience delivering product and working with design and manufacturing.

This is also why I'm entirely unwilling to fund the enormous number of gaming projects led by first-time game developers, full of wild-eyed wonder and promises of the sun and stars. I want to help great people do great things, not pay so a completely green newbie developer/designer/artist/whatever can cut their teeth flailing about.
