CHOOOSE, based in Oslo, is one of Europe’s leaders in the climate tech sector, whose mission is to accelerate climate action globally. The company implements advanced climate programs for the largest brands in the travel and logistics industries. Even tech pioneers need a trusted partner to scale — and that’s where Startup House came in.

Challenge

After securing a seed round, CHOOOSE faced a critical inflection point: it needed to rapidly expand its engineering team with specialists capable of keeping pace with the dynamic pace of product development. After a thorough market analysis and vetting multiple vendors, CHOOOSE chose Startup House as a Team Augmentation partner — a team that delivered exactly the talent and flexibility required to scale the platform quickly.

Thanks to our collaboration with Startup House, we built a strong, cohesive product team of top-tier talent. I recommend Startup House to anyone seeking access to a mature, highly experienced engineering team.

Long-term partnership and scaling

For over 4 years, Startup House supported CHOOOSE as a flexible technology partner in a team augmentation model, rather than a typical IT subcontractor. We provided dedicated experts in key disciplines: product design, QA, and frontend and backend development.

The pillars of our collaboration were:

Culture fit

Our engineers contributed essential expertise while aligning with CHOOOSE’s values and company culture.

Operational flexibility

We dynamically scaled team size and composition to align with current business priorities and product development phases.

Precise skills matching

We provided specialists whose tech profile matched the CHOOOSE architecture's requirements exactly.

A team tailored to your needs

Each engineer underwent rigorous vetting—some came from our in-house team, while others were recruited specifically for this project.

Commitment and Responsibility

Engineers took full ownership of their assigned modules, proactively proposing improvements.

High quality standards

We integrated the CHOOOSE Quality Framework with our internal software development practices.

The key to the success of this implementation rested on three pillars: the right specialists at the right time, consistently high code quality, and seamless continuous delivery.
