New Paradigm Secures TIPS Selection for Four Portfolio Companies... "Investing 10 Billion Won This Year"

"Four Portfolio Companies Achieve Final Selection"
Three in Deep Tech, One in General Category
Co-CEO Baek Sangseung: "Driving Rapid Growth for Family Companies"

New Paradigm Investment (New Paradigm), an accelerator (AC) specializing in scaling up early-stage startups, announced on the 27th that it has successfully helped four companies in its portfolio be selected for the Ministry of SMEs and Startups’ TIPS program.

New Paradigm assisted three companies in entering the “Deep Tech TIPS” category, which requires a high technological barrier to entry, and one company in the “General TIPS” category, which is considered a fast track.

In the Deep Tech category, which secures up to 1.5 billion won in R&D funding, the selected companies are Vaxdime, a bio startup that has developed the microbial protein production platform "Shapenova"; Nosework, which is advancing an AI-based clinical decision-making system for pets; and Artrami, which integrates generative AI technology into the direct-to-consumer (D2C) art commerce platform "Ddunu." Agigom Company, recognized for its potential to digitally transform the infant and parenting platform market, was selected for the General TIPS category.

This year, New Paradigm declared three strategic pillars—growth, technology, and global—and announced that it will inject 10 billion won in new capital to support the rapid scaling of startups in the AI era. The company aims to solidify its role as a “growth engine” by taking responsibility not only for early-stage nurturing but also for facilitating follow-on funding rounds at Series A and B stages.

Baek Sangseung, Co-CEO of New Paradigm, said, “Despite significant macroeconomic volatility, our portfolio companies have made sweeping inroads into both Deep Tech and General TIPS programs. This is an encouraging result from our investment system, which proactively discovers and nurtures promising companies with strong technological capabilities and market potential.” He added, “We will continue to be a reliable partner so that our family companies with unique technologies can clearly establish themselves as innovation icons and potential unicorns.”

New Paradigm is the accelerator subsidiary of TS Investment, a KOSDAQ-listed venture capital firm. The company provides one-stop support, including investment and funding execution, technology verification, business model refinement, and specialized consulting. Last year, it successfully helped several family companies enter government support programs—such as As We Make and Petfarm being selected for Scaleup TIPS, Kookmin Bio for Post-TIPS, and Curapulse for the TIPS Global Track—thus supporting the commercialization of their technologies.
