The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Zenvia
Over the last year, we can see that the biggest insider purchase was by Founder Cassio Bobsin Machado for US$10m worth of shares, at about US$1.14 per share. So it's clear an insider wanted to buy, at around the current price, which is US$1.23. While their view may have changed since the purchase was made, this does at least suggest they have had confidence in the company's future. If someone buys shares at well below current prices, it's a good sign on balance, but keep in mind they may no longer see value.
