It's certainly worth sending your summary to CRV to see what they have to say.

Quickstart or otherwise it would still seem like better idea to figure out how to get an introduction. I could be missing the point of the program, but my guess is that an unsolicited email to a VC firm is still an unsolicited email to a VC firm.

Do you, or anyone, have experience to the contrary?

I agree with you. An unsolicited email would not be the smart thing to do -- it will get buried in the noise floor.

they are pretty responsive, this is not a typical VC deal where anything off the wire is in the garbage, they are actively soliciting you to contact them, much like the YC app.

Yeah, I got my rejection from then in less than a week. They seem to read the summaries, if nothing else.
