Early stage VCs typically say that the ebbs and flows of the stock market don't effect the valuations they pay in start up financings. These firms most definitely do look at public stock market valuations as a measure of how to price a private company. This is what Clearstone is doing with its portfolio companies.

The Quigley Report

What they are really asking, I think, is "where do VCs get their inspiration about a deal or market space". In my opinion, most of what inspires a VC to get excited about a market comes from rumor, hear say and general media publications. Getting a VC educated about your market space is no easy task.
