Having to raise another round before their planned IPO? I'm assuming this is a down round?

    "Airbnb announced today that Silver Lake and Sixth Street Partners will invest $1 billion in Airbnb in a combination of debt and equity securities."

What does this mean relative to a private stock purchase?
