Our Purpose

Purpose of the Initiative

Skyfellow supports global companies and industrial platforms that are exploring new business development opportunities through external technology collaboration.

The initiative focuses on identifying relevant emerging technologies, startup candidates, VC-connected opportunities, and IPO-near companies that may contribute to future collaboration discussions.

It is not designed as an acquisition mandate or investment solicitation. At the initial stage, Skyfellow focuses on market mapping, hypothesis development, informal temperature checks, and the preparation of practical discussion themes before formal commercial engagement.

The Partnership

Why Suzuki and Miwa

Suzuki brings director-level responsibility across international companies, with practical experience in cross-border business development, investor relations, and strategic communication. Miwa brings deep Japan-side access — across listed companies, IPO-near companies, disclosure services, and the IR ecosystem — built through more than two decades of direct engagement.

Together, they form a practical business development interface suited for early-stage market mapping, structured collaboration themes, and careful relationship-driven coordination before any formal commercial discussions begin.

Through IQ121.COM Limited and related business development activities, both Suzuki and Miwa have developed practical access to corporate venture capital, corporate innovation, and large-company business development networks. The initiative does not rely on public name-dropping, but on careful relationship-driven coordination and properly structured discussion themes.

Japan Corporate & IR Network Access

Practical relationships across Japan's listed-company ecosystem, IPO-near companies, disclosure services, and IR communities.

CVC & Corporate Innovation Access

Relationship-based access to corporate venture capital and large-company business development networks, built through direct engagement rather than public affiliation.
