\"Matt<\/a>Matt Howard of EatStreet announced in February that they made it to Series A and raised\u00a0$2 million<\/a>. \u00a0EatStreet<\/a>\u00a0is proof that existing online restaurant ordering platforms now have some steep competition. \u00a0In their expansion they’ve targeted the underserved areas of the country, and as a result, they’re growing by leaps and bounds! What started as a small project of only 100\u00a0restaurants\u00a0in 2009 has grown to over 1,000\u00a0restaurants\u00a0in 20 cities, primarily in the Midwest and on the East Coast. \u00a0Keep an eye on this one in the coming months, as their goal is much bigger. They’re striving for a unique platform approach that will incorporate Facebook and building mobile apps for\u00a0restaurants\u00a0as well.<\/p>\n
