    Hi everyone


    I have a question that I can't answer and I wanted to get views of those with more experience.


    Context:

    • A VC firm owns 50% of a public company that just floated on the ASX. There is an escrow for the VC of 24 months after IPO.
    • The VC firm is the biggest shareholders, the next biggest shareholders is the CEO with 10% of ownership.
    • The VC firm made it very clear that they will exit their position after the escrow period. 

    My question are:

    • Because the VC must take profit, does that mean that the share price will automatically get hammered after the 24 months escrow period?
    • What is the point of investing when the stock price is somehow "programmed"?

    Your views are welcome
