Why? Most $50mm investments end up worth nothing. The fact a company has investment does not mean they have actual value.

It's a quibble, but I would expect most $50 million dollar investments to be low risk. Things like power plants and so on.
You mean VC investments, the point is that VC investment is a small fraction of overall investment.

I mean, it kind of does.
For example, the day they close the round of funding they will presumably have $50MM in their checking account, so it would be a quite remarkable situation indeed if their actual value on that day was below that number.
