Venture guys typically won't make a play on a product as much as they will on the leadership of an organization. In this case you'd have to find a VC interested enough to work on doing the buyout from Corel...in order to interest them enough to make that play you'd probably have to show a core group of folks who would run the company after you bought the product. With that core in place it wouldn't be too hard to show a ready user base so the trick would be to find a VC who was cowboy enough to help make the Corel play. If one of the guys mentioned above by AS were interested for example...that might be enough to perk the ears of a VC.
