SKxTECH Calls for Partners to Revitalize Business
On August 23, 2025, SKxTECH, headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, announced an open call for innovative partners and ideas to help overcome financial difficulties and build a brighter future together.
Led by CEO Yoshinari Takahashi, a seasoned entrepreneur from the challenging employment ice age generation, SKxTECH has leveraged its technical skills and problem-solving abilities in specialized communication infrastructure construction. Despite being a small-scale operation, the company has maintained profitability on paper. However, recent struggles with fundraising shortly after its establishment have forced the company to depend on cash flow for operations, resulting in a significant 40% drop in revenue during the second year. Coupled with delays in existing projects and declined loans from financial institutions, concerns about the continuity of the business have intensified.
In recent months, Takahashi has sought advice from various experts but found no concrete solutions. He expressed a desire to move past these challenges through collective intelligence rather than tackling them alone, which prompted the announcement for partners now.
Recognizing the severe situation as “the worst possible scenario,” SKxTECH aims to forge collaborations with external partners who possess the wisdom and strength to navigate through this crisis effectively.
Overview of the Business Reconstruction Project
Challenges
The current scale of the business is too small to attract venture capitalists or corporate venture capital.
An attempt to secure funding through loans in July was declined.
Despite these challenges, revenue has slightly improved since October.
The project will run for a month, starting from August 24, under the following four rules:
1.
Certainty: Partners must be identifiable individuals or organizations and propose feasible methods.
2.
Independence: The company’s autonomy must remain intact.
3.
Universal Benefit: All involved parties, including existing partners and customers, should gain from the project.
4.
Growth Scheme: Immediate resolution of short-term financial issues and strategies for medium to long-term business growth are necessary.
Calls for Ideas and Actions
Interested parties can propose ideas and actions through one or both of the following avenues:
- - Submit a proposal in the form of a project timeline or presentation, approximately two A4 pages in length. Confidentiality agreements will be signed regarding information shared.
1.
Immediate Assistance
Skimming towards rapid fund acquisition within 30 hours. The primary goal is to supply immediate and actionable funding methods to make the necessary payments for August. Partners agreeing to assist in securing funds will receive 10% of the total amount raised upon confirmation of receipt. If the secured funds involve loans, repayment methods must be realistic and focused on business continuity.
2.
Development of Medium- to Long-Term Growth Schemes
Ample collaboration is sought to strengthen sales strategies aimed at achieving a monthly target of plus two orders. Additionally, three investments ranging between 1 million to 2 million yen each will be sought for mid- to long-term growth, with one investment specifically welcoming female sponsors. Contributions to building new business domains—such as systems for storage batteries and data center markets—will involve refining proposals and aiding their implementation. Partners engaged in constructing business domains will be considered for new stock acquisition rights depending on the nature of the initiatives undertaken.
Benefits for Collaborating Parties
Along with financial rewards, joining this strategic growth endeavor presents opportunities for new business avenues and enhancement of corporate value.
