Just drop a line on twitter saying you've discovered a vulnerability in $popularSoftware and mention $company. Say you'll be disclosing in 90 days if $company doesn't issue a reply publicly.

Make sure to deal with an actual human and that everything is done according to best practice. You may even get publicity this way and even if it's unethical it can be sold or used to your advantage.

If they care, trust me when I say they will make an effort. Most places (like Google) have effective systems in place for dealing with such queries.
