Potentially, but for high-growth unprofitable companies management is usually betting that they can either use the extra money raised to fix the fundamentals of the business in time for the next capital raise, or else they need to dump their stocks on the public market and get out because there won't be a next capital raise. I'd bet that #1 is more common in the management team's head, but #2 is more common in reality.
