## About

Based in Tokyo, Japan, and founded in 2020, Takumi Engineering, Inc., formerly known as LeadX, Inc., develops and provides a quotation support system for small and medium-sized parts manufacturers that aims to help with the price estimation of manufactured parts. In September 2022, LeadX, Inc. raised JPY 60 million in seed financing from UTokyo Innovation Platform and Genesia Ventures. As of September 2022, Shota Maeda is the President and CEO of the company.

The company provides Takumi Force, an estimation support software that allows parts manufacturers to accumulate material costs and other information, and price information. Takumi Force enables parts manufacturers to centrally manage files related to issues, recognize drawings, and instantly determine similar drawings and repeat projects through an image analysis algorithm, estimate calculation assistance while looking at drawings and documents, and issue a quote according to the format of each company.
