Congrats to designcrowd on the funding, however it seems like a clone of 99designs.
IMHO I'd think there's a market for a different take on crowd sourced design, especially seeing as though there's such a huge backlash from the anti-spec work front. Something like a sortfolio for general design work perhaps?

They actually started just before 99 I believe.

But of course, haven't had the same growth.
... 99designs grew out of sitepoint; it was a huge springboard having designers and customers using the sitepoint forums as a marketplace.
99 designs done really well, but freelancer have also now started doing design competitions, and now these guys.
It's an emerging segment, good luck to them!
