Humble suggestion: when propositioning complete strangers, "we have interest from VCs" is more likely to be a turn-off than a turn-on for experienced folks.

What it usually means: we don't have money, and investors haven't been interested enough to write us a check.

So true. Actually anybody has a potential "interest from VCs", because that's what VCs do - they are interested, they look around, sniff, check, look at ideas. So anyone could say that they have the VCs interest in their stuff. The same is true for patens/patent pending. Just don's say this. If you said: we sold our patent for $xxx its completely different story.
