I'm extremely proud to be joining YC. PG, Jessica, Harj, PB and Trevor were the first venture investors to believe in me and the idea back in 2010. Over the following 7 years YC helped in innumerable ways. While neither I nor anyone else was aiming for the particular conclusion to the Pebble story, YC and the whole network gave support at every twist and turn.
Very excited to be helping startups full time!
- cabaalis 9y agoPebble was the best watch I've owned. I moved away to a mechanical watch since, but that experience is still what I want when I occasionally think of buying a new smart watch.
- jjb123 9y agoCongrats, Eric! Big win for every hardware company going through YC that will undoubtedly learn an immense amount from your experience.
- m-p-3 9y agoI'm sad the Pebble story had tonend like this, but I'm proud to have participated to both Kickstarter (own the OG Pebble, Pebble Steel, Pebble Time Steel) and I'm still wearing the PTS today! The Timeline concept is unparalleled in the smartwatch ecosystem and the interface really put the "time" concept on the spotlight which I feel that current smartwatch makers forget to often about (to the benefit of fitness stuff, which is "trendy" amongst customers). I'll be sad when the thing will die. :(
