Netskope is a U.S. cybersecurity company founded in 2012 in Santa Clara, California. It has become one of the pioneers of the SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) segment, bringing together data protection, threat prevention, access control, and regulatory compliance in a unified cloud platform — without compromising speed or user experience. Today, more than 2,500 organizations worldwide, including dozens of Fortune 100 corporations, rely on Netskope One.

Netskope is recognized as a leader in cloud security and SASE by both Gartner and Forrester, with a global network spanning the U.S., Europe, and Asia.

Market and competition — The cybersecurity market is projected to surpass $200 billion by 2028, growing at over 15% annually.

Netskope was founded in 2012 in Santa Clara, California, and has become one of the pioneers of modern cloud cybersecurity architecture. The company emerged at a time when businesses were rapidly shifting to the cloud, while traditional security solutions remained fragmented and poorly adapted to new threats. Netskope introduced the Netskope One platform, bringing together data protection, threat prevention, access control, and regulatory compliance in a single cloud-based service.

From its early years, the startup stood out for its technology and scale, quickly becoming one of the leaders in the SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) segment. Today, Netskope serves more than 2,500 organizations worldwide, including dozens of Fortune 100 companies. Over the years, it has raised more than $1 billion from leading venture capital firms such as Sequoia Capital, Lightspeed, Accel, and SoftBank Vision Fund — support that has secured Netskope’s position as one of the strongest players in cloud security.

The name Netskope reflects the company’s mission — to “scope and secure the network” in the cloud, making the digital environment safe and transparent for users and enterprises alike. Its footprint spans the U.S., Europe, and Asia, while proprietary artificial intelligence algorithms analyze traffic and attack context in real time to deliver precise and proactive protection.

Netskope’s model is built on long-term enterprise contracts and SaaS services, providing predictable and scalable cash flows. The company is expanding alongside the global cybersecurity market, which is projected to exceed $200 billion by 2028 with annual growth of more than 15%.

Today, Netskope is regarded as one of the most promising brands in cloud security, competing with leaders such as Zscaler, Palo Alto Networks, CrowdStrike, and Cloudflare. Its IPO, targeting a valuation of $6.1 billion and raising $764.8 million, will be a key indicator of investor appetite for the cybersecurity sector. For investors, it represents an opportunity to gain exposure to a business at the intersection of technology, artificial intelligence, and the global shift to the cloud — a market where demand for digital security continues to accelerate.

— What is an IPO?
An IPO (Initial Public Offering) is when a private company lists its shares on a stock exchange for the first time to raise capital from investors. From that point onward, the company’s shares can be freely bought and sold on the open market.

— Where are IPOs conducted?
IPOs take place on the world’s largest stock exchanges. In the U.S., the primary venues are the NYSE (New York Stock Exchange) and NASDAQ. Once a company goes public, its shares are freely traded on these exchanges, and the market price is established after the offering.

— What is allocation?
Allocation (from “allocation” — distribution) refers to the process of distributing resources, assets, or capital for maximum efficiency. In investing, allocation usually means distributing the available amount of shares among investors in an IPO or private placement.

— How much allocation does an investor receive?
The allocation size depends on the specific deal and typically ranges from 2% to 30% of the submitted order. Information about the actual allocation becomes available roughly one day before the offering, approximately six hours prior to the trade.

Example — Bullish IPO:
An investor placed an order for $10,000. The allocation was 29.6%, meaning $2,960 was invested in the IPO. The remaining $7,040, including the purchase commission, was refunded to the balance and became available for withdrawal.

— Why do companies go public?
To raise growth capital, increase brand visibility, and provide early investors and employees with an opportunity to sell part of their shares.

— How is participating in an IPO different from buying shares on the exchange?
When you participate in an IPO, you buy shares before they start trading publicly. This provides an opportunity to purchase at the fixed offering price but also carries the risk that the price may drop once trading begins.

— What do I get by participating in an IPO through Regolith?
You become an investor in the company at the IPO stage via our U.S. partner infrastructure. After the transaction is completed and the lock-up period expires, profits from the share sale are distributed among investors proportionally to their stake in the deal.

— What is a lock-up period and how long does it last?
A lock-up period is a timeframe set by the issuer and underwriters during which shares cannot be sold. For IPOs offered through our platform, this period is 93 days. Once it ends, the shares are sold on the exchange and proceeds are distributed among investors.

— How is participating through the platform different from buying shares independently?
To buy independently, you would need access to a U.S. broker, a significant investment amount, and approval from underwriters. The platform pools capital from investors, providing access to IPOs that are otherwise unavailable to most individuals.

— Through whom is IPO participation carried out?
We operate through a U.S.-based structure that works with a licensed broker in the U.S. Our partner selects promising IPOs and participates in the offering under its own name.

— How is the deal structured legally?
An investor signs an agreement/offer to participate in the investment product. Regolith then transfers funds to its partner entity — Wealthy Labs Limited (the provider), which enters into a forward contract with the broker and executes all operational activities. The provider delivers the financial outcome to Regolith, which then distributes proceeds among investors.

— Is there a minimum investment amount?
Yes. Each IPO has a defined minimum entry threshold, shown on the offering page. On average, Regolith provides access starting from $500.

— Do I receive shares into my personal brokerage account?
No. Shares are purchased and held in the partner’s brokerage account. After the lock-up period, the broker sells the shares and transfers proceeds for distribution among investors.

— Can shares be transferred directly to my brokerage account?
No. Participation is structured via a forward contract with the partner’s brokerage infrastructure. The deal is executed on behalf of the partner, and settlements with investors are carried out through the platform.

— How can I sell my shares after the IPO?
Sales are processed automatically: once the lock-up expires, the partner broker sells the shares on the exchange, and proceeds are distributed proportionally among investors.

— What are the risks of investing in IPOs?
IPOs are high-risk investments. While they may offer high returns, they also carry significant volatility. Share prices on the first trading day — and after the lock-up — can fluctuate sharply. There is a risk that the market price will fall below the offering price. In addition, macroeconomic and sector-specific factors can affect outcomes.

— Can I know in advance how much I will earn?
IPO returns are not guaranteed. The final result depends on the share price at the time of sale after the lock-up, overall market conditions, and the company’s performance.

— How can I verify that Regolith participates in IPOs?
We publish all available deal information in the client dashboard. Additionally, we provide an agreement disclosing the infrastructure used for transactions. Broker and partner documents are not shared, as they contain confidential data protected by contractual obligations.
