An IPO pop does not necessarily mean that any money has been left on the table: just because some shares trade at $146 doesn't mean that all of them could have been sold for the same price. The demand curves slope downwards.
However, when the pop is as large as it was in the case of Airbnb, it does seem like they could have raised more cash.
