Tokyo's Asahi Kasei Corporation Backs Ann Arbor-Based JustLight pbc with UV Investment

Asahi Kasei Corporation has committed its support in JustLight with another round of investment. This comes after JustLight was awarded funding in January from Asahi Kasei's UV Accelerator, a project that strives to attract new partnerships from countries around the globe to help create a safer world.

JustLight, a public benefit corporation, believes its light will fundamentally improve our health care system. Founder Peter Forhan, a 25-year-old inventor from Ann Arbor, Michigan, started the company during the pandemic. JustLight has since raised over $2 million to create health and wellness light products. The signature products — Halo, Sunflower and Violet — will be sold commercially upon FDA approval.
