Hot off the heels of raising over $10.2-million in 40 days with the most successful Kickstarter Campaign in history, Pebble Founder Eric Migicovsky kicks off Startup Grind Toronto’s first event tomorrow night, with a live video conversation from his home in Palo Alto.

What went through this 25 year old’s mind at the moment he realized that he was going to be part of startup history?

We’ll ask him that, along with questions from our live audience.

And readers from around the world are invited to join in the conversation, through live blogging coverage of the event being provided by ITBusiness.ca. You can catch the live blog coverage right here on StartupGrind.com.

Pebble’s Kickstarter story is not only the most ever raised on the three year old crowd funding platform. The historic financing comes only a few weeks after the passing the JOBSAct in the United States, a new law that makes crowd funding for equity in small startups legal for the first time.
