My own belief, it is not that big a problem, it is a VC’s job to find Entrepreneurs. They might miss some like Bessemer missed Intel, Apple Computer, Ebay, Google and others, but their goal is not to.
Just find a reference, know what stage are you, Bootstrap, Angel or VC and give it a good shot.

Just my two cents, it is also hard to determine when a certain startup will be successful in the long run. I have to agree that we should all be optimistic and must not ignore startup companies that have brilliant ideas. But you see, we are not expected to provide ideas rather, money that will fund the project. I have to be honest that it is harder to let go of that without any assurance that we will be able to get it back again.
