VCs may be less concerned with the next quarter than public shareholders, but at some point there will be accountability, since they will want to get their money. That requires an IPO, generally, does it not? Or at least an acquisition by an even larger company.

What if the successful private company buys out its VCs? I don't know why that can't happen.

Or just acquisition by another group of investors, this time with a longer term outlook. The VCs can cash out without an IPO.
