San Francisco AI buyers operate at frontier-model pace and expect engineering depth equal to local hires. NKKTech builds AI for SF / Bay Area startups, scaleups, and enterprises with senior engineers who work on the same providers and patterns — OpenAI Enterprise, Anthropic, Bedrock, self-hosted Llama at scale. Our published US case studies include a US fintech and a US healthcare startup.
Six engagement patterns that fit SF / Bay Area companies. Calibrated to SV pace, frontier-model literacy, and technical-buyer expectations.
Multi-agent systems on LangGraph / CrewAI / AutoGen, RAG with hybrid retrieval + reranking, fine-tuning on Llama 3.3 / Mistral / Qwen, RLHF + DPO for alignment. Production patterns, not POCs.
Pre-seed to Series B teams can ship MVPs in 6-10 weeks with NKKTech. Fixed-fee, weekly demos, founder/CTO direct line to our senior engineers. No sales overhead, no account managers between you and the build team.
Series C+ and large enterprises get senior teams (5-15 engineers) with the process discipline of ISO 9001/22301 + the velocity of a startup.
Daily early-morning overlap window, 5–9 AM PT (= 8 PM–midnight Vietnam, the same team window that covers 8 AM–12 PM ET). Sync time on the calendar; async handoff and an async-first PM for the rest of the day.
We contract through NKKTech Global Pte. Ltd. under a Singapore-law MSA — cleaner than Vietnam-law for IP. We do not have a US entity or US partner company; if your procurement requires a US contracting entity, raise it at discovery and we will say plainly whether we can meet that requirement.
Every AI deployment ships with a frozen eval set, scoring functions per task type, CI-gated regressions. Same methodology Anthropic + OpenAI internal teams use. Audit-ready.
Senior engineer (not a sales rep) on the call. Tony joins for strategic discussions. We listen, scope, give honest go/no-go.
Written proposal within 3 business days of the discovery call. Then a 1-week scoping sprint — whiteboard, architecture review, fixed-fee quote. Sprint fee credited toward the build if you proceed. No vendor lock-in.
Senior team, daily Bay-hours sync, weekly demo. SF on-site visit at week 4 if engagement justifies (~$3K travel cost, often absorbed).
Launch, monitoring, runbook. Monthly retainer for iteration ($4-12K/mo depending on scope). Some clients keep us as long-term AI bench.
Founding-team augmentation, MVP build in 8-12 weeks, eval framework setup from day one. Fixed-fee. Some founders use us as their first 'engineering team' before hiring.
In-product AI feature shipping, internal-tool agents, RAG over company knowledge bases. Augments existing eng team (we don't replace your seniors).
Specialized AI builds where in-house team is at capacity. Compliance-aware: we work to SOC 2 and ISO 27001 controls, and hold ISO 9001 and ISO 22301 certification. Senior teams of 5-15.
Industry-specific AI: legal, healthcare, fintech, real estate. We bring vertical-aware engineering patterns; client brings domain expertise.
Building AI-on-AI: eval platforms, model registries, observability tools, fine-tuning platforms.
Smart contract development (Solidity / Move / Rust), DeFi protocols, on-chain analytics. NKKTech is Top Web3 Vietnam — Clutch 2026.
Vietnam is GMT+7. SF is GMT-8 (-7 in DST). The live overlap is an early-morning window — 5–9 AM PT = 8 PM–midnight Vietnam (the same team window that gives East Coast teams 8 AM–12 PM ET). A senior engineer + PM cover that window for daily sync; async handoff carries the work through the rest of your day. The cadence suits teams that work async-first; if you need a co-located team, we will say so and recommend a US vendor.
Honest answer: if your project budget allows $400-500K/year per senior engineer and you have local talent pipeline, hire local. NKKTech wins on cost-vs-quality at $35-65/hr senior rate where (a) the project is fixed-scope rather than ongoing, or (b) the engineer count needed exceeds available local talent. If you have an in-house team, we augment it, not replace it.
No. We're a services business — not investors. Our standard terms: 50/50 (signing / acceptance) for AI Pilots and projects under $15K, and 30/40/30 (kickoff / working demo / acceptance) for larger builds and we'll structure around cash-conservative startup phases. For super-early startups (pre-seed, runway < 6 months), we sometimes defer 30% of the engagement fee for 90 days.
Yes — the YC-style velocity matches our process well: fixed scope, weekly demos, honest go/no-go in week 1. Our published US case studies (a US fintech, a US healthcare startup, a US/Canada B2B SaaS) are on our case-studies page.
AI MVP (8-12 weeks): USD 50-100K fixed-fee. Series B/C and enterprise engagements: up to USD 300K per phase (6-12 months); larger multi-phase programmes are quoted phase by phase. Monthly retainer for ongoing tuning: $4-12K. Written proposal within 3 business days; all quotes fixed-fee, locked after a 1-week scoping engagement.
