Investment

Business

At Skylight, our investment activities can be broadly categorized into three types. Each type of investment is made with a long-term perspective, and we provide flexible business management support to investee companies as needed.
We also leverage our expertise gained through investments in a broad range of fields when providing our consulting services.

Investment in
subsidiary companies

Investment in subsidiaries includes cases where we establish a company as a new business of our own,
and cases in which a company conducting business closely related to Skylight’s consulting business is made a subsidiary.

Investment in new business development

Cases of investment having some kind of connection with not only the growth of investee company businesses, but also our consulting business.

Seed investment

Cases in which we support business growth by providing funding and know-how to entrepreneurs with business ideas.
