San Francisco: Airbnb Inc is looking to raise an additional $153m as an extension of a recent funding round, boosting its coffers as the company pushes forward with global expansion.
Airbnb has authorised the sale of up to $153m in equity to investors, according to venture capital database CB Insights, which obtained the company's financial filing. The funding is an extension of a round in September, when Airbnb raised more than $555m, according to financial filings.
Investors have valued the company at $30 bn. The price per-share for the sale is $105, up from the $93.09 share price the company commanded in its 2015 financing round, according to CB Insights.
Several dealmakers have said they expect company to go public next year.
