CADDi, a Tokyo- and Chicago-based startup selling AI software to help manufacturers organise and use engineering and production data, has raised $114 million in a Series D funding round. The round values the company at $1.2 billion, more than double its March 2025 valuation of $470 million. Eight investors participated, including Moore Strategic Ventures, Coreline Ventures, Toyota's Woven Capital, and HR Tech Fund. Existing backers Atomico, Globis Capital Partners, and JPS Growth funds also joined. The funding brings CADDi's total raised to $234 million since its 2017 founding. CADDi's platform integrates data from CAD files, enterprise resource planning software, and HR systems, structuring it for use by people and AI agents. The company now employs about 900 staff, up from 600 in early 2025, and serves customers in 22 countries.

CADDi, an AI data platform for manufacturing, has launched ITAR-compliant support for its CADDi Drawer platform, targeting aerospace and defence manufacturers handling sensitive International Traffic in Arms Regulations data. The company has registered with the US Department of State's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls. The new US-only tier meets strict data residency requirements and restricts access to US persons only. CADDi Drawer uses AI to centralise and analyse design and production data, helping manufacturers address challenges such as undocumented institutional knowledge and design redundancies that occur when engineers lack visibility into existing work. Founded in 2017, CADDi is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified. The platform is now available to qualifying US manufacturers, building on the company's existing work with automotive and heavy industry customers.
