A private placement is a normal part of an IPO. The new company raises some venture capital, some goes to the underwriter to finance the deal, (generally between 5 and 10 percent of the money that is raised.)

Private placements are, of course, extremely speculative, so the people that buy into it get a real good deal if the IPO is successful. Many times the investor gets resricted stock, which he /she can't sell before some specified date.
