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.

The capital injection will be used to support inventory purchases, ensuring ample stock to meet the increasing demand for their products.
