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 over 1.5M 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. This funding marks a pivotal moment for the company, affirming its journey from a decade of profitable bootstrapping to a new era of growth and innovation. The capital injection will be used to support the company's mission to meet the surging demand for its tech and propel it to even greater heights.
