Sources for great stuff

The othehr day I was struggling to see some clean sites with modern touch, sites which are started last 2 years to see clean designs . I searched (few days) web but did not find any and struggled and did not find a place where you get a list of sites with good look.

Here is the source crunchbase
- below artlogic site is one example, you can get all modern recently funded sites by filterinng with category

http://www.artlogic.com/ - great new look , simple menus , good art background instead of images

When I just struggled to get a clean looking site for days , then think about findinng best sites like Mr. K . How can you find , what do you serach on . That is why you need some base some place where somebody did the job and ranked that is Forbes best of web

great place for new startup enterprenuers to see what already exists , who are the existinng competators in your filed how/when they are funded etc.. If all new enterprenuers read and resrech these companies in their area before starting their company they save months of fruitless labor and money ( by avoidinng starting site in an already crowded area )
