The $36M VC sell-off is likely a pre-arranged distribution or lockup expiration, not a bearish signal on fundamentals. Monitor for additional VC selling in coming weeks; the CFO retirement and negative cash flow from the recent earnings are more material concerns for the stock.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Three Netskope insiders (Lightspeed Venture Partners entities and director Arif Janmohamed) sold a combined $36.2M in open-market shares over two days, representing ~1% of market cap. The sales follow the June 3 earnings report and appear to be a planned VC distribution rather than a bearish signal from management, though the magnitude is notable.
