Depending on what you are "inventing" letting other people know may mean you can't file for a patent. Also less known, but even putting down vital info in gmail can cause you to be denied a patent. I believe Yahoo is safer, but be diligent about how you protect your IP.
As for the Q... are you looking to just sell your idea off to someone else? Or are you looking to do a startup? If you are doing a startup, stage 1 of funding is to find an angel investor. VC's usually don't sponsor early stage startups (they might, but most go via route of angels). You need to have a business plan to present. There is info out there on how to draft up a a business plan proposal.
