Room rental website Airbnb has confirmed that it raised a $117 million Series B round, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission Wednesday.
Airbnb had previously reported that it had raised $112 million in Series B financing from Andreessen Horowitz, DST Global and General Catalyst.
"Airbnb filed a Form D today with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the company’s issuance of shares of its preferred stock as a part of its Series B financing, which initially closed over a year ago, on July 22, 2011. Today's filing was a customary notification related to the company’s prior Series B financing, and is unrelated to any other financing that the company may choose to undertake in the future," a spokesperson from Airbnb told VatorNews.
