DWEAX, a Korean generative AI-based business automation solution startup, has secured pre-Series A funding from New Paradigm Investment.

Since its founding in July 2022, DWEAX has been a technology-driven startup with the motto, “Realizing everyone’s dreams with data,” providing solutions that significantly lower the barriers to AI adoption for businesses. Its flagship product, the on-premise integrated platform “WEA,” enables even non-AI experts to design and execute generative AI workflows using a no-code approach. The platform supports the development and operation of domain-specific large language models (LLMs), as well as multi-agent-based Agentic AI, all seamlessly integrated.

New Paradigm Investment decided to invest in DWEAX, recognizing its technological differentiation and market scalability. The WEA platform, developed in-house, allows general users to easily design generative AI workflows through a no-code AI builder. It incorporates advanced AI technologies such as LLMOps-based model management, model optimization, and knowledge distillation, achieving precision and efficiency applicable to real-world customer environments, which has led to business scalability. This was highly evaluated by the investor.

Since its inception in July 2022, DWEAX recorded revenues of 2.5 million USD(3.4 billion KRW) in 2024 and aims to achieve over 3.6 million USD(5 billion KRW) this year while fully transitioning to a SaaS-based model. The company has demonstrated its technological prowess through projects with major public institutions, including the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, the Ministry of Science and ICT, and Incheon International Airport Corporation, while continuously building real-world use cases across various industries.

With this investment, DWEAX plans to significantly enhance its R&D capabilities by focusing on: ▲ a no-code-based AI workflow design builder, ▲ domain-specific LLM development and management tools (WEAOps), ▲ advanced multi-agent-based Agentic AI frameworks, and ▲ expanding its AI expert workforce and organization. In particular, DWEAX aims to realize practical generative AI beyond simple chatbots by enabling AI to autonomously design and execute workflows based on user objectives.

Bae Sang-seung, co-CEO of New Paradigm Investment, stated, “DWEAX will lead the era of ‘Agentic AI,’ lowering the barriers to generative AI adoption and streamlining various business workflows. Despite the early stage of the market, DWEAX’s current customer base and technological maturity will enable rapid scaling, leading to meaningful results in the global market.”

Ahn Jun-hyeong, CEO of DWEAX, expressed his ambition, saying, “AI is no longer the exclusive domain of a few experts but a core infrastructure that all organizations must adopt. DWEAX will lead the productivity revolution in Korea’s AI ecosystem with generative AI technology.”
