Summary
Shai Ber is a serial founder, technologist, and investor with 12+ years of hands-on experience building, scaling, and exiting startups across AI, SaaS, Deep Tech, and Climate Tech. He co-founded Wing Cloud (creator of Winglang, a cloud-oriented programming language with 5K+ GitHub stars) and Aniways (scaled to 100M+ messages/day and acquired by Verizon), and has repeatedly run engineering orgs from first hire to tens of engineers. As an operator he combines product, technical architecture, and fundraising expertise—raising a $20M seed and supporting companies through Series B rounds—while as an investor and board member he has backed early winners like Papaya Global and Optibus. Now leading Origin Labs, he incubates ventures spanning enterprise copilots, self-driving lab intelligence, and biorefinery clean-tech, applying both deep technical chops and a talent for spotting pre-unicorn opportunities. Based in Tel Aviv, he’s equally fluent in OSS community-building and enterprise scaling, often stepping into interim CTO roles to de-risk early product architecture.
