Software VC's don't have to care about code being crap that only demonstrates well in a particular set of circumstances for exactly the same reason that mining VC's don't have to care that the same fraction of gold is found in every cubic meter of the company's mining site as in the handful of lucky drill samples.

Those VC's can pump and dump: promote the stock stock, then dump it before it dives.

The people that have to care are the company officers who want to grow a successful business. If those people are cynical, then the venture is probably doomed.
