About us
Berbis Labs is run by Hungryweb—builders with live products in the wild.
Mission, vision & values
Mission
We give students a place to work on meaningful AI projects—not toy demos. Participants collaborate on real problems, ship work that reaches customers, and develop skills that transfer beyond the classroom.
Vision
Berbis Labs becomes the place where students ship customer-facing AI with real mentorship—bridging classrooms and production so every cohort leaves with portfolio work that mattered.
Values
Real impact over sandbox demos. Shared ownership of outcomes with partners. Mentorship that coaches judgment—not hand-holding every keystroke.
Hungryweb
Hungryweb is a Dublin-based technology company focused on e-commerce and custom product development since 2014. Through Berbis Labs, Hungryweb opens a path for students to learn by shipping real work alongside experienced builders.
