I saw on a PE resume, someone talking about a $50m equity financing deal and a $15m private offering deal.
What is the different between equity financing and private offering/private placement?

Equity financing is issuing of stocks openly on the market and private placement.....is private, usually to a small # of investors.
Just guessing by the way it was worded..
I would assume the equity financing was for a publicly traded company in a follow-on offering (after they are already public)
The private placement can be any number of different debt or equity securities transactions and I'd assume in this case it was for a private company..Although there are cases where public companies can have a private placement (example: PIPES - private investment in public equity)
I read that private placement usually refers to public companies while private offering is for private companies. Is this correct?
No
What's the difference between the use of private offering and private placement?
