Analysis · NTSK · Technology
Lightspeed Venture Partners converted 3.25 million Class B shares to Class A and distributed them to partners, then sold 229,696 shares for $2.8 million. While the conversion and distribution are non-cash events, the open market sale adds to a pattern of Lightspeed reducing its Netskope position — the firm has now sold over $45 million in the past 90 days. The sale is modest relative to Lightspeed's remaining 17.2 million shares, but it continues the distribution trend that has weighed on the stock since the June earnings sell-off.
