Online Kickstarter campaign reaches $3,000 goal!

Together, WE DID IT!

We've successfully raised $3,000 in pledges towards LANDMARK WEST!'s online Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for the development of the West Side's first ever iPhone walking tour app!

"Backers" from New York City and beyond (Omaha, NE, and Los Angeles, CA, both represented!) watched our project video, got inspired and pledged their support (see the full list of contributors below).  They pledged $1 and they pledged $500, knowing that every single dollar would go a long way towards helping us reach our goal.  And we did!

Now that we're "100% funded," our pledges will graduate to donations at the end of our campaign, September 21st.  Don't forget: this was an all-or-nothing endeavor!  Without our emailing, Facebook posting, Twitter tweeting, and weeks of sharing our Kickstarter excitement far and wide, we may not have reached our goal.  Then, we'd have gotten nothing, zilch, zip!  We don't have to worry about that now, thanks to our 45 backers to-date:

The donations raised so far make a tremendous difference, but with your help, we can do more!  There are 8 Kickstarter-filled days left for us to raise more funds and exceed our goal!  And as we said on our project page, raising more than our goal will give us the freedom to start seriously daydreaming about the next iPhone app.

If you haven't already, head to our project page now to watch the video and make your pledge.  And keep spreading the word around.  Half the fun is sharing this cutting-edge idea with others!  To look back on the 27 days of Kickstarter excitement thus far--including the Kickstarter staff dubbing our project "brilliant" and features by local news sources--head to the LW! blog now!

With 8 days left, there's plenty of time for pledges, so keep 'em coming!  And of course, stay tuned to our blog and our Twitter and Facebook pages for more updates!
