WalkScore provides a numerical "walkability" score that measures accessibility by foot to amenities such as restaurants, theaters and public transit for any address in the US, Canada and New Zealand. The score appears in consumer contexts including Craigslist apartment posts and is used by over 10,000 real-estate sites. Examples of partners named in the article include Zillow and Estately, which use the rating to bulk up listings. CEO Josh Herst told GeekWire that, despite listings often focusing on price and bedrooms, nearby amenities matter to renters. Investors angel-funded the company for $2 million. Investors named in the round were Shel Kaphan, Rudy Gadre, Edward Yim and Geoff Entress.
