-Need of cash, means some insiders or organisations may need to sell some shares to get cash, for example, a fund needs to be redeemed to return money to investors when it matures.
-Diversification of risk, where founders or some venture capital organisations may sell some shares to reduce the concentration of their own wealth in one company and thus reduce risk.
-Inside information, meaning that they may learn information about a company’s operations that the public market does not know, and may be inclined to sell shares if they believe the market price of the stock is too high.
