Bina Labs is three senior operators - Michael Fleicher, Ronen Chen and Or Zilberberg. You work with one of them, directly, end to end. Different problem, different operator - never a committee, never a junior. The person you meet is the person who builds.

Machine-learning and computer-vision engineer with a background in edge AI (Juganu) and precision optics (Flo Optics), where he builds automated optical inspection. Beyond vision, he automates business operations end to end, from web scraping and data pipelines to smart reports that turn raw data into decisions. Hands-on, from first prototype to code running in production.
For larger scopes we extend with a vetted internal bench - product, UI/UX, and engineering, both local and offshore. You always work directly with the principal; the bench scales the build, not the relationship.
[01]
Discovery
Direct work with the principal. Frame the problem, scope a sprint, set evals before we write code.
[02]
Build
A small senior team. Code, models, infra. Weekly demo, no status theater.
[03]
Scale
When the build needs more horsepower, we extend with our internal bench - product, design, engineering.
[04]
Handoff
You own the system. Documented, evaluated, deployable. We are not the integration tax forever.

// how we operate
Operating principles.
[01]
Deadline is holy
We commit to a date and we hit it. Scope flexes, quality has a floor, the date does not move.
[04]
Prototype before contract
Every engagement starts with a 4-week paid pilot - working code in your environment before a 40-page SOW.
[05]
Refund the rest
When a project should die, we say so and refund the unused portion. We've done it four times.
[06]
Built to leave
Hand-off plan from day one. Documented, deployable, owned by your team. We are not the integration tax forever.
