Different interpretations of risk?

Seems like HFs, PE, and VC all think about risk differently. Hedge funds discount at expected return to all stake holders, PE uses required return and VC just has a moonshot 30%+ discount rate. Anyone can opine on how they think about risk? It also seems that volatility is looked down upon when there is higher potential attractive upside as well.
