i am working on creating a software startup. where are some places
that take project proposals (via email) and offer venture capital?
where can i find a list of email addresses to submit my proposal to?

benjaminpritchard-ga,
Please see Paul Graham's essays for several ideas on 
building startups and funding them:
http://www.paulgraham.com

Especially,

Good luck,
yosarian-ga.

Not that my business partner and I are looking for VC funding but I
think we don't fare too badly on the above points, except that maybe
our market size is rather modest by VC standards.

You may contact any of these VC's
