CADDi raises $114 million Series D at $1.2 billion value
CADDi, a global technology firm specializing in manufacturing AI data platforms, has secured $114 million in Series D funding, bringing its total funding to $234 million. The round of investment was led by eight new and existing investors, including Moore Strategic Ventures, Coreline Ventures, HR Tech Fund LLC, Woven Capital, Salesforce Ventures, Atomico, Globis Capital Partners, and JPS Growth Investment Limited Partnership.
The company, headquartered in Chicago and Tokyo, is led by co-founder and CEO Yushiro Kato. CADDi's next-generation Manufacturing AI Data Platform was unveiled in Japan in August 2026, with plans for a global rollout. The platform functions as a manufacturing operating system, providing a semantic structure for fragmented data, allowing human and AI workflows to operate on shared data without manual intervention.
The funds raised will be utilized across four key areas: AI and technology development, platform expansion, enhancement of global business operations centered on North America, and investment in talent acquisition and development. CADDi's official U.S. launch marks the company's full-scale expansion into the United States, the world's second-largest manufacturing market.
Founded in 2017 by Yushiro Kato and Aki Kobashi, CADDi currently serves manufacturing businesses in over 20 countries, including numerous major publicly traded companies in Japan and the United States.
