An outsourced engineering team you'd actually keep.
Outsourcing earns its bad reputation through junior-heavy benches, invisible progress and code you can't take with you. TreeHex is built the other way around: a senior lead, a few strong engineers, a US contract, and a demo every week.
01Scope
Ways to engage
01
Dedicated pod
A senior lead and a small team working your roadmap full-time. Monthly retainer, scale up or down with notice. From $750 a month.
02
Staff augmentation
Engineers embedded in your repositories, standups and review process, filling the gap while you hire or ramp a launch.
03
Fixed-scope projects
A defined outcome for a defined price: websites, MVPs, AI pilots. A fixed first milestone lets you judge us on output.
04
White-label engineering
Agencies and consultancies: we build under your brand, with NDAs and clean hand-offs to your clients.
02Approach
What makes the model work.
- 1
Small and senior, on purpose
No bench of juniors to bill you for. Every project has an engineer-lead who writes code and answers for quality.
- 2
US contract, US-facing communication
Contracts, invoicing, NDA and IP assignment follow US law, and you have a named lead for daily communication.
- 3
Transparent delivery
Shared repo, shared board, weekly demos. You see commits and progress without asking for a status report.
- 4
6 months of support included
Every project we deliver includes 6 months of post-launch support: bug fixes, security updates and technical help on what we built.
- 5
Zero lock-in
Code, infrastructure and documentation live in your accounts. If you outgrow us or want to hire in-house, the transition is clean.
03Fit
Best fit for
- US startups and SMBs that need a product team without the risk of several full-time hires
- Agencies that want a reliable white-label engineering partner
- Norway and EU teams looking for a lean external build partner
- Operators shipping AI features, portals or MVPs on a deadline

Answers before you book.
Is TreeHex an outsourcing or offshore development company?+
Yes. TREEHEX LLC is a US company that delivers through a lean, senior team. It suits companies that want outsourcing economics with senior ownership instead of a large junior bench.
How big is a typical dedicated pod?+
Intentionally small: usually a lead plus a few engineers. That keeps coordination overhead low and the people on your project the same people you met on the first call.
What does it cost to outsource software development to TreeHex?+
Dedicated pods start at $750 per month. Fixed-scope projects start at $1,500 for websites and $8,000 to $12,000 for AI and operations MVPs. You get a written quote after a scoping call.
How do you handle IP and confidentiality?+
We sign an NDA before detailed discussions and an IP assignment in the contract, so everything we build is yours from the first commit.
Do you work with US and Norway or EU clients?+
Yes. The portfolio includes US operators (GlassPatch, Noram's Auto, DreamBox) and Norwegian digital health work (Medsensio, reMind with UiT).
Is post-launch support included?+
Yes. Every project we deliver includes 6 months of post-launch support: bug fixes, security updates, monitoring and technical help on what we built. New features are scoped separately.
