BCIC-New Ventures’ 25 round-three competitors have been hard at work on their Round 3 business overviews which were submitted on August 8th.

Competition judges will announce the 10 finalists on September 4th but in the meantime let’s have a closer look at the Top 25.

Paradigm Shift Solutions Inc., named by BC Business magazine as a Top Innovative Company in 2011, produces ContractTailorTM, web-based software transforming the legal industry by helping legal professionals organize their work in ways not possible with existing office tools.

Its founders, Chilwin Cheng and Jim Hamlin, SFU EMBA classmates, navigate technology-driven disruption in the legal industry to address the increasingly prohibitive cost of professional legal services.

In 2009, Paradigm launched its first offering, FiredWithoutCause.com, a service helping Canadians to calculate their severance entitlements.  FiredWithoutCause.com continues to help thousands of Canadians each year maximize their severance packages.
