That is a proposal for a startup. If it is ready for use AND has a

I can't agree more. that is absolutely right. But VC will mostly not understand that "free " word and even if it is understood, no one sees scope of profit. I don't see mark shuttalworth everywhere.
Happy hacking. Krishnakant.
VCs and Angles today are very hot on "Open Source" as it is the new buzzword that they feel is the road to the future. They understand the services model as well as or in fact, better than, the Open Source developers themselves.
but ofcourse, you need to have a good product and a strong business plan.
There. You have it from the horses mouth. Btw do you provide project and funding services.
We work with VCs, PEs and Angles. We provide help on funding, but ofcourse cant guarantee it. Contact me offline if you wish to know what we do on it (irrespective if whether you want funding), else we will both get flamed by our various friends for talking of it and not taking it to a VC mailing list :)
