Sanjay Beri co-founded the company in Santa Clara in 2012 with Ravi Ithal, Lebin Cheng, and Krishna Narayanaswamy to build what the industry now calls a SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) platform: a cloud service that converges network security, zero trust access, and secure web gateway into a single control plane.

Equity comp at Netskope
- RSUs use double-trigger vesting. Two things must both happen before the shares are yours: (1) the normal time-based vesting completes, and (2) the company has a liquidity event (an IPO or an acquisition). Until both happen, you do not yet own the shares and you do not owe tax on them.

A protective put caps your downside on the NTSK position at a chosen floor; a zero-cost collar pays for that floor by capping the upside. This calculator prices both structures off the current NTSK option chain, with annual cost, max loss, and tax-treatment notes.
Example: a 5,000-share NTSK position at $9.5 is worth $47,500. A 1-year 30%-OTM put on that position typically runs 2-4% of position value per year (about $950 to $1,900) before any premium offset from a short call. The calculator prices both structures off NTSK's current option chain so you see the actual cost for your chosen floor, tenor, and cap.

Netskope equity questions
- How much does it cost to hedge NTSK stock?
- The cost of a protective put depends on how far below the current price you set the floor, how long the protection lasts, and NTSK's option-implied volatility. A zero-cost collar lowers that cost by selling away some upside. The calculator above prices both structures off the current NTSK option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
- Does Netskope grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
- Equity compensation at Netskope typically takes the form of incentive stock options (ISOs), non-qualified stock options (NSOs), and restricted stock units (RSUs). Incentive stock options can trigger the alternative minimum tax (AMT) when you exercise. Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
- When did the Netskope IPO lockup expire?
- Netskope (NTSK) went public on September 18, 2025. The standard post-IPO lockup runs 180 days, so employee and insider shares generally became sellable around March 17, 2026. Confirm against your own grant paperwork, since some lockups release early or in stages.
- Do Netskope RSUs use double-trigger vesting?
- Yes. Netskope restricted stock units (RSUs) vest only when two things both happen: the time-based schedule completes, and the company has a liquidity event such as an initial public offering (IPO) or an acquisition. Until both occur you do not own the shares and owe no tax on them.
