Skylight, a digital photo frame and smart calendar brand, has emerged as a solution to a timeless problem: staying connected with loved ones in an increasingly digital world. With nearly 1.5 million units sold, Skylight's flagship product, the Skylight Frame, has quickly become the top-selling digital picture frame on Amazon. It offers a way for users to share cherished photos with family and friends from anywhere in the world.

To further expand its reach, Skylight recently closed a successful funding round.
