Once Peak Design fulfills these orders, it will be the largest fully executed Kickstarter campaign of all time. You may recall that Pebble failed to deliver on its infamous Kickstarter, in which backers pledged over $20 million, but the company never shipped its promised product.
Peak Design began life in the Spring of 2011, when the company’s Founder and CEO Peter Dering designed a clip that allows photographers to conveniently attach their cameras on any backpack strap, belt or bag. After a successful Kickstarter campaign, Peter decided to build his company around the wisdom of the crowd and launch each of his new products via crowdfunding.
