Spectee Secures Additional Funding, Final Close of Series E2 at 1.8 Billion Yen

Spectee Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Kenjiro Murakami), a provider of supply chain risk management services, announced that it has conducted a third-party allotment of shares with Impact Capital Inc. (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representatives: Chunmei Huang and Sayaka Takatsuka) as the underwriter for the Impact Capital No. 1 Investment Limited Partnership. This brings the total Series E2 funding to 1.8 billion yen, following the first close in January of this year and the second close in March of this year. Cumulative funding has reached 3.8 billion yen. The funds raised will be allocated to business expansion and product enhancement of 'Spectee SCR', a supply chain risk management cloud for the manufacturing industry. · The Era of Unprecedented 'Uncertainty' Facing Supply Chains In recent years, the environment surrounding manufacturing supply chains is rapidly becoming more uncertain. Risks that shake the foundations of corporate activities, such as heightened geopolitical risks due to escalating international tensions, intensifying natural disasters from climate change, supply instability from dependence on specific countries or regions, and increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks, are becoming more complex and diverse than ever before. In such times, manufacturers are required to quickly grasp 'what is happening' in their supply chains, accurately assess the impact, and make rapid decisions. · Visualizing Black-Boxed Supply Chain Connections with AI Many manufacturers find it difficult to grasp the overall picture of multi-layered supply chains extending to parts and raw materials, making it hard to immediately determine which sites, suppliers, or parts are affected in times of crisis. Spectee is developing technology to estimate and visualize the overall picture of black-boxed supply chains using AI, based on external transaction data and diverse data the company has uniquely accumulated. By visualizing connections between suppliers and the supply structure of parts and raw materials, Spectee supports strengthening the resilience of supply chains in the manufacturing industry. · Long-Accumulated Risk Data and AI Analysis Technology Another major challenge for manufacturers is to detect early signs of geopolitical risks, natural disasters, accidents, and cyberattacks, and to understand how these will impact their own supply chains. Spectee has accumulated years of technological development and service provision in the field of risk information collection and analysis. It has built a unique technological foundation that analyzes diverse data in real-time—including social media, weather information, satellite data, river and road cameras, news, and various public information—to visualize 'what is happening where' and 'how far the impact will spread.' Based on this technology, it enables rapid detection of disasters, accidents, and geopolitical risks, and quick understanding of which supplier sites, parts, and logistics routes are likely to be affected. · 'Spectee SCR' Pioneering Next-Generation Supply Chain Risk Management 'Spectee SCR' is a next-generation supply chain risk management cloud that combines Spectee's cultivated risk information analysis technology with AI technology that visualizes the multi-layered structure of globally expanding supply chains. It visualizes the overall supply chain picture, including supplier connections and logistics routes, and detects crises in real-time, analyzing their impact to quickly identify which supplier sites and parts are affected. Going beyond mere risk information provision, it aims to become a 'decision-making foundation' for manufacturers to navigate uncertain times through AI-driven risk prediction and impact analysis. Spectee will continue its challenge to enhance the resilience of the entire supply chain and serve as infrastructure supporting the sustainable growth of society and industry. ■ Comment from Kenjiro Murakami, CEO of Spectee Inc. Due to recent escalating international tensions, heightened geopolitical risks, and intensifying natural disasters, the supply chains of the manufacturing industry are facing an environment of unprecedented complexity and unpredictability. What companies need now is to visualize the entire supply chain during normal times, quickly capture changes, and equip themselves with a resilient risk management base to prevent procurement and production stoppages. Spectee aims to realize a 'data-driven resilient society' by leveraging AI, and has honed its technology to visualize crises by providing services to many companies, national governments, and local authorities. Based on the data analysis technology and risk information expertise cultivated so far, we will connect and visualize the often black-boxed supply chains of the manufacturing industry and build a new industrial infrastructure resilient to risks. We are greatly encouraged by the support from many investors this time. To meet these expectations, we will further evolve 'Spectee SCR' and work towards realizing strategic and resilient supply chain management. Spectee will contribute to the sustainable growth of Japan's manufacturing industry and global industries by visualizing supply chain uncertainties and supporting corporate decision-making. ■ Comment from Hiroya Tsukiji, Director of Impact Capital No. 1 Investment Limited Partnership Spectee aims to contribute to minimizing damage by providing accurate information to corporations and organizations that enables faster decision-making during disasters and other emergencies. From the perspective that initial response in an emergency is a leverage point that determines subsequent damage control, we believe Spectee's business contributes to people's stable lives and economic activities, and ultimately to expanding life choices based on them. We are pleased to collaborate through this impact investment, as it aligns with our fund's goal of 'creating a colorful society where diversity is recognized and choices can be made based on values.' We will support Spectee's business growth alongside the team aiming to improve overall societal resilience, working towards creating social value and maximizing business value. ■ About Spectee Inc.
