WalkScore Raises $2M To Rate The Walkability Of Potential Housing

Screen Shot 2012-01-13 at 4.24.47 PMYou might have seen the subtle brag at the bottom of Craigslist apartment searchposts -- WalkScore 99! WalkScore 100! WalkScore 85! Well, why should you care about whatever a WalkScore is? Because the score rates accessibility by foot to things people want to access by foot like restaurants, theaters and public transit for any address in the US, Canada and New Zealand.Useful right? Well it made sense to investors, who've just angel funded the company to the tune of $2 million -- those investors included Shel Kaphan, Rudy Gadre, Edward Yim and Geoff Entress.
