Why Bitrupt

The Generative partner San Francisco teams actually keep

01
Frontier-fluent

We follow new models, papers, and frameworks weekly — and we know which ones to ignore.

02
PT overlap with your team

Full West Coast working hours. Pair programming, design crits, on-call without time-zone tax.

03
Startup operator empathy

We've been the in-house team. We know what runway feels like and won't gold-plate.

04
Built for regulated industries

Security, auditability, and compliance baked in from day one — not bolted on before launch.

How it works

From first call to live software in four steps

01
Discovery call

A 30-minute working session. We map the problem, the data, and the fastest path to value — no obligation.

02
Fixed proposal

A clear plan, timeline, and fixed price within 48 hours. You know exactly what you're getting.

03
Build in sprints

A senior pod ships working software every week. You see progress in your hands, not in status decks.

04
Launch & support

We deploy, monitor, and pay accountability. Hand-off or ongoing support — your call.

Proof

Senior work, measurable outcomes

5 weeks to production
They embedded a senior pod in two weeks and shipped a working LLM copilot before our internal team had finished the spec. Genuinely the fastest, most accountable partner we've used.

ROI in one quarter
We came in skeptical about AI ROI. They told us what not to build, then delivered a forecasting model that paid for itself in a quarter.

Logistics & Supply Chain
No-risk engagement

Built so the only thing you
risk is a 30-minute call

NDA before the first call

Your idea and data are protected from minute one. Standard, no friction.

Fixed-price option

For open-ended hourly surprises. Agree the number up front.

You own everything

Full IP, source, and models transfer to you. No lock-in, ever.

On-time or we keep working

Miss the agreed date and the average is on us, not on your budget.

Questions

Generative AI Development in San Francisco — answered

Don’t see your question? Email hello@bitrupt.co — a senior engineer responds within one business day.

How much does generative ai development cost in San Francisco?
Most engagements generative ai development starts with a fixed-price pilot (typically $15k–$40k) so you can prove value before committing to a longer build. Full production AI products generally range from $50k to $250k depending on data readiness, integrations, and compliance needs. You get a fixed number up front — never an open-ended hourly meter.
Do you work with pre-seed / seed startups?
Yes, on focused scopes. We'll be honest if your stage is better served by a senior in-house hire than by us.
Can you help us pick a model?
That's often the first deliverable. We benchmark on your data, with your latency and cost constraints, and write down why.
Do you take equity?
Cash-only by default, but we've done blended cash + equity for early-stage clients we believe in.
How fast can you ship a prototype?
Two to four weeks for a serious prototype. We refuse to ship a fake one faster — it costs more later.
