I cringe whenever I see team photos of them where they've been put in aggressive postures or awkward poses.

My favorite though is First Round's where they make everyone the same height: http://firstround.com/team/

The Lightspeed Venture graphic is the best, looks like they were aiming for the Peter Jackson tricks of perspective to make the front row guys look like hobbits. Maybe looking to corner the hot Shire startup scene?

I'm not so sure there's much of a correlation between successful investing and having a nice site ... http://www.berkshirehathaway.com/

That said, I suppose it's fair to expect that companies funding web technology have passable sites.
