SkySense株式会社 has raised $1.0M in seed funding from Archetype Ventures. The company is developing airship-type high-altitude platform stations (HAPS) for Earth observation, drawing on technology from JAXA, Japan's space agency.
SkySense says its stratospheric platforms are meant to combine the strengths of the two data sources currently dominant in Earth observation - satellites and aerial photography - into a single offering: high resolution, frequent observation, wide coverage and low cost.
Twenty years ago, Japan was at the forefront of stratospheric platform technology. Now, it's time to pick up where we left off. In the early 2000s, Japan was pioneering stratospheric platforms, but the limitations of batteries and materials brought that ambition to a halt.
Two decades later, SkySense is bringing that vision back to life, powered by advances in battery technology, materials science, flight control, and AI. The opportunity is compelling. Satellites face trade-offs in resolution and revisit frequency. Conventional aircraft struggle to deliver persistent coverage at an economically viable cost. The stratosphere offers a missing layer of Earth observatio
Kyulux
Kyulux was established in Japan in 2015 to develop next generation materials for OLED displays and lighting. Based on exclusively-licensed technology from Kyushu University, Kyulux develops next-generation hyperfluorescence TADF emitters. Hyperfluorescence OLEDs combine TADF and fluorescence emitters to enable highly efficient emission (100% IQE), low cost and high color purity. Hyperfluorescence was invented at Kyushu University by Dr. Chihaya Adachi (co-founder at Kyulux) and the technology is exclusively licensed to Kyulux.

Quadlytics Inc.
Quadlytics is building AI-powered technology to address one of the most difficult challenges in epilepsy care: seizure unpredictability. Our platform combines wearable sensing and machine learning to detect anomalous physiological changes from wearable data and provide timely insights for patients and caregivers, while supporting clinicians with relevant data for care discussions. By enabling earlier preparation and more informed decision-making, we aim to support a new model of proactive epilepsy care and help people with epilepsy live with greater confidence and independence. Our technology is currently under development and not yet available for clinical use.
