What's actually needed by investors is knowing whether this is correct in economic terms, i.e. whether it predicts who will ultimately be IPO'd successfully (make money for VC's and friends then bombs) or whether the company ultimately goes on to be be a win for pension funds and (pushing it to the next level) is ultimately better for the planet and those who live on it.

They are incentivized to see their portfolio company get a higher valuation and raise more. So it would seem that attractiveness leading to a higher chance of fundraising is aligned with their interest.
