Michael Fainshtein

Engineering Executive Scale-Up Leader BioTech Innovator VP of Operations MedTech Executive

Biography

With over two decades of hands-on leadership in engineering, biotech, fintech, and high-stakes startup environments, I provide actionable, no-nonsense advisory and consulting services. I don't just give advice — I help execute, solve, and scale. My focus is on results, not theory.
I work with founders, CEOs, and operators who want more than buzzwords. If you're looking for someone who can roll up their sleeves, call the BS, and help you actually get things DONE — that's me.


If your startup or scale-up needs technical leadership — but not a full-time CTO — I step in as a fractional executive or senior technical advisor. I align engineering direction with business goals and prepare your tech stack and team for growth.


With over a dozen international patents under my belt, I help inventors, founders, and companies draft, refine, and validate their IP strategies — especially in MedTech, Biotech, and FinTech sectors.


Having led engineering and operations in the U.S., China, Eastern Europe, and Israel, I can assist in sourcing, vetting, and setting up manufacturing or assembly operations abroad. Ideal for startups scaling hardware.

MY PATENTS

Patents are my battlefield advantage. They protect the intellectual sweat I’ve poured into innovations and give me the legal edge to defend and monetize what I’ve created. In a world where ideas are currency, patents are my vault — securing value, attracting investors, and establishing credibility. For me, they’re not just legal documents; they’re proof of originality, foresight, and execution.

  • I hold a diverse portfolio of international patents across the Biotech, MedTech, and FinTech industries. These patents reflect a consistent focus on solving complex, real-world problems through innovation and practical engineering. My inventions span from biomedical devices and precision health monitoring systems to secure financial transaction technologies and automated dispensing mechanisms. Each patent is not just an idea — it’s a working solution, often developed to prototype or product stage, backed by rigorous R&D, and strategically filed to protect global market potential. My intellectual property serves as a foundation for product development, licensing opportunities, and competitive differentiation, and has played a key role in successful exits from multiple startups.
