Did you think that as soon as a company goes public, VCs get to sell all their stocks?

Tesla and LinkedIn had their IPOs 5-6 years ago, they aren't being held by VC funds. Tableau's major holders also don't include any VC funds:

Typically VCs have to sell their shares 6-ish months after there's a liquidity event and return the proceeds to their LPs.
