Agentic AI consulting for the Bay Area's startups, enterprise teams, and frontier AI companies. Discovery starts remotely — no need to wait on a meeting room — and on-site work follows at your San Francisco offices as the engagement grows.
San Francisco is the epicentre of the AI industry. The Bay Area captured 60% of global AI venture funding in 2025 — $126 billion — and is home to the companies defining the frontier: OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, and hundreds more. AI companies now occupy nearly 7 million square feet of office space across SoMa, Mission Bay, and the Financial District. This is the densest concentration of AI talent, capital, and ambition anywhere in the world.
But density of activity is not the same as density of production-grade agentic systems. The gap Nean fills here is the same one we fill everywhere — getting from a promising demo to an agent a San Francisco business can trust with real customers, real money, and real systems. The difference is that in this market, the demand for that expertise is deeper, the budgets are larger, and the tolerance for pilots is lower. Teams here want production, fast.

Agentic systems built on the latest models — for teams that are already at the frontier and need production-grade orchestration around it.
Regulated agentic workflows for servicing, risk, and back-office operations, with the governance a financial sector demands.
Multi-agent systems embedded inside existing SaaS platforms — working alongside your product, not bolted on top.
Careful, well-governed agents for clinical, operational, and research workflows where reliability is non-negotiable.
The same model we use everywhere: start remote, scale on-site as needed.
Kickoff, systems review, and early build sessions run over video — no need to wait on a San Francisco meeting to get started.
Workshops and stakeholder alignment held in person in San Francisco when it's genuinely useful.
Larger, ongoing work moves to a regular on-site cadence at your San Francisco offices, sized to the engagement.

Every engagement starts remotely — discovery, scoping, and early build sessions run over video from day one. We bring on-site work to your San Francisco or Bay Area offices as the engagement grows, from workshops through to a regular on-site cadence.
Both. Nean is deliberately segment-agnostic — we work with early-stage startups shipping their first production agent and large enterprise teams scaling agentic workflows across existing systems. San Francisco's market spans the full spectrum, and so do we.
Frontier AI and infrastructure, fintech and financial services, enterprise SaaS, and healthcare and biotech are where we see the most agentic AI activity in the Bay Area today, though the approach applies broadly.
Because discovery is remote, we can typically begin scoping within the same week you reach out — no need to wait for an on-site visit to get moving.
