solve the problem 03 Working at CADDi 04 Culture 05 Compensation & Beneﬁts Unauthorized reproduction or reuse prohibited. 4

AI solved the digital. Now comes Materialization. The more AI
pushes beyond the limits of human intelligence, the more humanity faces the limits of the physical world. Even when AI generates new theories and ideas, the world will not change unless they are implemented in the physical world. In other words, the bottleneck to human progress has shifted to the limits of the physical world. For example, safer vehicles can reach people around the world, reducing the number of lives lost.Rockets can be mass-produced like aircraft, making space part of humanity’s sphere of activity. When physical innovation happens, the world changes. By accelerating physical innovation 10×, we aim to contribute to the advancement of humanity. ©CADDi, Inc.

The Current State of Manufacturing: Unlike software, development speed has
remained largely unchanged. Manufacturing 1995 5yrs 1x Software 2025 5yrs It takes just as long to make things today as it did 30 years ago. ©CADDi, Inc. 1995 2yrs 100x 2025 7days Software development is 100× faster than it was 30 years ago. Unauthorized reproduction or reuse prohibited. 7

Why is that? Innovation is being hindered by the loss
and fragmentation of data. 企画‧要件構想設計基本設計詳細設計試作‧検証量産設計量産移管原価管理調達品質認証 Data is “Invisible” Data is “Disconnected” Manufacturing generates vast amounts of data, yet 80% of it exists as tacit knowledge in the minds of experienced workers or as unstructured data that is not AI-ready. Across a long value chain spanning more than 100 processes, data is siloed across departments and locations, preventing effective feedback loops. ©CADDi, Inc. Unauthorized reproduction or reuse prohibited. 8

How do we solve this? The key to innovation is
the circulation of data. Data Management as a Service Used in daily operations We analyze, contextualize, and connect the vast amounts of A Manufacturing OS Human and AI capabilities in exploration, decision-making, and execution evolve for manufacturing that creates value across every aspect of the business data generated every day across manufacturing. Data should not simply be collected and stored. What matters is Decisions and context accumulate keeping it continuously usable in day-to-day operations and turning it into value through real-world action. By ingesting data from across the business, giving it meaning and context, connecting it across functions, and generating new data through everyday operations,Data Management as a Service (DMaaS) enables this continuous cycle. The meaning and connections within the data deepen ©CADDi, Inc. Unauthorized reproduction or reuse prohibited. 10

01 An Intelligent Data Layer That Analyzes Unstructured Data with
Proprietary Technology Transforming data into structures that AI can understand and leverage. Manufacturing contains an enormous amount of untapped data, so much so that it is often said that 80% of manufacturing data exists as tacit knowledge. From 3D and 2D product data to cost and quality information, accounting data, and HR information, much of this data is scattered across paper documents and file servers. This makes it difficult not only for people, but also for AI, to access and leverage. Much of it remains locked away as tacit knowledge or “dark data.” CADDi has proprietary geometric analysis technology for 3D CAD and engineering drawings. We analyze and classify manufacturing-specific data and transform it into structures that AI can search, reason over, and leverage. ©CADDi, Inc.

02 The “Map of Data” That Connects Meaning and Context
Integrating the meaning and relationships across vast amounts of analyzed and structured data. For humans and AI agents to explore data accurately, reason over it, and take action, they need a “map of data.” The Semantic Layer understands each company’s unique internal rules and deﬁnitions, gives meaning to vast amounts of analyzed data, and connects them with one another. Combining advanced technology with the deep customer understanding developed through our original Manufacturing business, CADDi builds a “map of data” grounded in each company’s unique context.

Why CADDi, now? 01 The New Frontier The frontier of
AI is now moving into the physical world. It is an unmapped boundary that separates the known from the unknown. What we are solving is a challenge shared across countries and regions:the physical constraints that have held back human progress. As one of the world’s largest industries, manufacturing is inevitably entering a period of transformation—and the timing is now. In an era of uncertainty, what experiences will truly create value for your career? What does it mean for humans to work? The experience of challenging industrial transformation on this frontier will, without a doubt, become a signiﬁcant asset for the future. ©CADDi, Inc. Unauthorized reproduction or reuse prohibited. 22

Why CADDi, now? 02 Unsolved Problem It's difficult. That's why
it's interesting. Taking on challenges that no one else in the world is willing to tackle.This has been one of the values CADDi has cherished since its founding. Manufacturing is one of the most complex industries in the world. Because of this complexity, the structural challenges facing the industry have remained unsolved for decades. Yet precisely because manufacturing operates through globally interconnected supply chains, solving these structural challenges means driving industrial transformation on a global scale—one that transcends any single country and has the potential to deﬁne the standard for the next era. ©CADDi, Inc. Unauthorized reproduction or reuse prohibited. 23

Why CADDi, now? 03 Pursuit of Excellence Our mission—“Unleash the
Potential of Manufacturing.” Today, we have not even reached the ﬁrst base camp of this enormous mountain. To transform the structure of the world’s largest industry, we must become the world’s best team. That is why we relentlessly pursue Excellence. “Excellence” is not a skill. It is a choice, and a reﬂection of the belief that tomorrow can be better than today. Mutual respect, high standards, and candid feedback naturally emerge when people are united behind an ambitious mission. Together with exceptional colleagues, in an environment that constantly stimulates intellectual curiosity, take on the challenge of moving the world forward. ©CADDi, Inc.

CTO Message Aki Kobashi Since the Industrial Revolution, humanity has
advanced from steel to steam to silicon – from materials to machines to digital. Yet, manufacturing remains the backbone of our lives today. Every product we touch is built by the dedication and skill of people across the supply chain.In today's dynamic world, our creations are becoming more complex and technologies are evolving faster, all while consumer expectations for quality and variety continue to rise. At the same time, our most experienced veterans are retiring, and the next generation must master an ever-expanding body of knowledge.

He joined a major U.S. aerospace manufacturer, where he built a system for processing large volumes of satellite imagery data. He later joined Apple’s U.S. headquarters, where he led the development of products including the iPhone and AirPods. In 2017, he co-founded CADDi Inc. with Kato. ©CADDi, Inc. However, to exceed the limits of what an individual can manage, we simply cannot "digitalize" our way out. Things must still be made, transported, and delivered. Mistakes in the real world cannot be undone with a few key presses.We must leverage the digital world and connect it to the physical world to take manufacturing to the next level. By combining cutting-edge technology with world-class manufacturing, we aim to amplify the human capability in order to build the next generation of manufacturing.

Team. Lose as a Team. As One Accomplish what cannot be achieved alone through the collective strength of the team. Let's create the best CADDi togheter. As VP of Engineering, my mission is to maximize CADDi’s product development capabilities. VP of Engineering Shigemoto Fujikura Across CADDi, there is a strong culture of execution—from decisive management, to successful fundraising, to expanding our business globally—all focused on achieving ambitious growth targets. I believe CADDi can create transformative change in the world through software born in Japan. At the same time, I do not believe that everyone needs to endure a relentless struggle in pursuit of an ambitious mission.Precisely because the challenges are difficult, I believe the ideal is to share them as a team and have fun solving them together. Trust is always a two-way relationship. It is difficult to expect someone to trust you when you do not trust them yourself. That is why I have made the decision to trust every member of my team completely, ﬁrst. To me, there is no better kind of work than taking on an ambitious mission with trusted colleagues—working as a team, pushing each other forward, and genuinely enjoying the challenge along the way. ©CADDi, Inc.

Values : Our Four Core Values Both rational and irrational,
for the sake of the future. 04 Uphold Integrity Maintain sincerity with customers, partners, colleagues, and yourself. Senior Executive Officer / CPO Yosuke Shirai n the world of software development, there's a term called "technical debt." This term often carries a negative connotation, suggesting something bad or something to be eliminated. However, the place we stand today is built upon such past legacies. In short, even if something seems irrational from today's perspective, we must respect the rationality of the time that built the present. Today, the phrase "using data" is uttered in countless contexts. However, when we look back through the lens of this modern standard of data utilization, the drawings and data accumulated in long-established manufacturing industries aren't always in their optimal state. We would like to create a product that connects the past and the future, helping us to gracefully overcome the irrationalities and discrepancies between the rationality of the parts and the whole, while respecting the legacy/assets that have built the present, in order to create the future. To achieve this, even if the accumulated data from the past contains some "irrational" situations, we use technology to analyze and integrate it as automatically as possible, minimizing human intervention, and providing the fastest possible experience of improving work through data utilization. Data is usable! Starting from that experience, we came up with the idea that it would be easier to use if our own operations and data were structured this way from the beginning, and above all, we want to help create a culture where such wisdom is shared. We aim to create a product that allows us to take the ﬁrst half-step with technology, and then move forward with both culture and technology working together. ©CADDi, Inc.
