Hi - I've worked at a few VC firms.
"What to do" -> What do you want? Normally people pursue VC for (1) brand (2) capital and (3) resources capital can't buy, in that order.
If (1) -> check out hn.algolia and how to pitch seed stage funds. Also happy to offer more specific advice.
If (2)-> same as (1) and/or pursue quickly deployed grant money (check out grant finders for startups). Recommend the startup angle, my understanding is scientific grants are slow to get through.
If (3) -> see (1)

Venture is a game of ruthless prioritization. 30 minutes, and I realize this sounds glib... is a lot. There are 10^6 (7?) startups you can look at. 30 minutes for every Delaware C corp doesn't scale well.
Good luck!
