However, in recent days the news on everything related to Pebble have not exactly turned around its ship date, but something much more worrying about potential problems such as financing. Although the company managed to reach a record $ 20 million raised on Kickstarter, the average TechCrunch revealed late last week that they were having trouble getting additional funding “in order to stay afloat.”

According to informed sources close to the company, venture capital companies in Silicon Valley have rejected funding proposals Pebble, so the company would have been forced to seek a bank loan valued at $ 5 million and a credit line for the same price. However, this is not the version that share in Pebble.

The response from the company was somewhat atypical, because instead of making an official statement, Pebble simply has posted on his Facebook page a link to a tweet with some of the comments of the original story of TechCrunch, which criticize the null basis thereof. Is it a way to confirm that the rumors are completely false?
