"They're also in many cases not really looking for a "quick ROI". More often than not they're actively avoiding a "quick ROI"..."
Every VC I've ever met is looking for an ROI within 1-2 years. Compared to the regular pace of a company where you could make a profit in 5 years, it's quick.
"Implicitly, I think it's likely that VCs /do/ care about race and gender."
Being called a 'sexist' or a 'racist' can mean the end of your company/career these days, so I seriously doubt a VC is going to have any bias towards women.
I also don't really like when people use the term 'implicit racism' because it means you will never be able to prove it one way or another. You are trying to read the mind of a person and finding them guilty in the court of public opinion.
