SKxTECH's New Initiative for Business Revitalization
On August 23, 2025, SKxTECH Co., Ltd., headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, and led by CEO Yoshinari Takahashi, announced a strategic initiative aimed at seeking innovative ideas and practical actions to revitalize its operations. As the company faces financial hardships typical of startups, it is seizing this challenge as an opportunity to recruit partners who can help navigate a brighter future in a game-like manner.
CEO Takahashi, an entrepreneur from the employment ice age generation, has highlighted his problem-solving capability and technical expertise built from his experience in telecommunications infrastructure projects. Despite maintaining a modest profit in recent financial statements, the company’s initial capital-raising efforts have stumbled post-launch, forcing it to operate on a cash-flow basis. In its second year, SKxTECH's revenues dropped by about 40% compared to the previous year, hampered by delays in project initiation and refusals for loans from financial institutions. As a result, the company is now in a precarious situation regarding payments due by the end of August.
Takahashi candidly shared, "We have seen almost every possible negative scenario we could face. Over the past few months, I have consulted various experts and exhausted every avenue, but time has just elapsed. I believe there are freelancers and entrepreneurs feeling the same way."
Nonetheless, he emphasized that this predicament can be addressed with solutions that are manageable for those with financial resources. He strongly asserts that it is possible to stabilize the business after rectifying the issues, with a keen focus on collaborating with knowledgeable and resourceful external partners.
Overview of the Revitalization Project
This initiative will operate under four core tenets:
1.
Feasibility: Solutions must come from credible individuals with plausible methods of realization.
2.
Independence: The company’s autonomy and independence must not be compromised.
3.
Benefit for All: Solutions must ensure benefits for all stakeholders, including existing partners and customers.
4.
Growth Scheme: Strategies should address immediate financial challenges while aiming for medium- to long-term business growth.
Call for Ideas and Actions
Interested parties may submit proposals under one or both of the following categories:
1.
Immediate Assistance (within 30 hours): The company seeks concrete and immediate funding strategies to meet its payment obligations by August.
