The fashion world has taken to the internet like fish to water -- with thousands of brands and retailers complemented by the rise of fashion bloggers, social media and new technologies to make it easier than ever to buy online. But all that activity poses a problem for the consumer: navigating one's way through all those virtual clothes rails to find just the thing you want. Lyst, a New York/London startup, is taking a big data approach to try to solve that issue, and today is announcing that it's picked up $5 million in financing to help do it. The Series A round is being led by new investor DFJ Esprit -- a champion of European startups that was also an early backer of LOVEFILM, now part of Amazon. Accel Partners, Alex Zubillaga and Venrex also participated. The total raised to date by Lyst now stands at $6.5 million since its launch in April 2011.

Sure, this is just "another concept", but it's one of the more interesting ones, or so we think. It's called the iSung Galaxy V and essentially a mashup of the rumored iPhone 5 and a Samsung Galaxy S III. According to its designer, it would featu...

The Crowd is on the loose. Thanks to the JOBS Act, mainstream attention came to crowdfunding this year, and platforms like Kickstarter and Indiegogo have been benefitting in kind. (Exhaustive post on the subject here.) The Crowd has pledged $275 million to some 63,000 Kickstarter projects to date, for example, and companies of all breeds are now using these platforms as launchpads and for a little proof of concept. But, sadly, you know who really isn't benefitting from the crowdfunding boom? Healthcare startups. In fact, Kickstarter officially prohibits health, fitness, and medical projects. That's why serial healthtech entrepreneur Alex Fair and founding Kickstarter product manager Mike Pence have set out to give health-focused entrepreneurs and projects a Kickstarter of their own. Medstartr, which launched in beta today, is a crowdfunding platform designed specifically for healthcare companies, providing startups with a vehicle to market their wares, generate awareness and raise capital -- direct from strangers, investors, and Doogie Howsers alike.
