Reaching VC folks

Suppose there were a well-established venture capital company with current investments in things like photovoltaics, batteries, ethanol, etc. And they typically do first and second round financing which puts them in the range of $0.5 million to $5.0 million. (Yes, this more than just hypothetical; the numbers are my educated guess.)
Given the Navy's gag order (not sharing with the civilian sector), and EMC2 ownership of all the critical intellectual property, how would you suggest they get involved in polywell fusion? How could they profit from such involvement in a way that would be compatible with EMC2 and Navy interests?
I've stumbled onto someone that I've had a few chance meetings with; I'm thinking of sending him an e-mail. I'm sure he doesn't remember me, and it may not even be worth jogging his memory. But he's got really broad scientific interests, he's been around (including visiting inside DoD), lots of people trust the guy and love talking to him, and I smile when an occasional news article shows up about him.
