I don’t think this is accurate. It’s usually not the company directly raising on AL. Rather it tends to be a syndicate with partners who have a connection with the company that is raising.

There are various reasons why a hot company might still have a syndicate including the syndicate lead was an early investor in the company so the founder is giving them an allocation in the subsequent rounds.
