How does PIPE work in SPAC?

Question

My basic understanding of it is that PIPE is a group of rich investors/institutions investing in a public company through private arrangement but how does this apply to SPAC when it's not public yet? Is the PIPE investing in the SPAC itself or the target company?
Update:

The PIPE investors are likely investing in the SPAC, which is the public company intending to acquire the private target company. As for timing, the PIPE investment might be announced simultaneously with the acquisition announcement. The PIPE investment may or may not be contingent on a successful acquisition.
