Gloo has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the remaining 20% stake in Midwestern Interactive, moving toward full ownership of the technology talent company. The transaction will bring Midwestern entirely under Gloo Holdings while extending a partnership that has already played a role in supporting technology initiatives across faith-based, ministry, nonprofit, and mission-driven organizations. The agreement is expected to close in the second quarter, subject to customary conditions.
Gloo Moves to Full Ownership of Midwestern
The acquisition marks a strategic expansion of Gloo’s enterprise technology portfolio as it seeks to deepen its capabilities in applied artificial intelligence, engineering support, and digital product development. Gloo, listed on Nasdaq under the ticker GLOO, serves what it describes as the faith and flourishing ecosystem through technology, marketing, donor engagement, and AI-enabled infrastructure. By taking full control of Midwestern, the company aims to create closer alignment between strategy, product delivery, and execution.
Gloo CEO Scott Beck described the deal as a natural progression of the companies’ long-running relationship. He said the collaboration has been shaped by shared values and measurable results, and that full ownership is expected to support stronger coordination across future initiatives. Beck also pointed to Midwestern as an important part of Gloo’s plans to scale globally through applied AI and forward-deployed engineering.
Midwestern’s Role in Technology Delivery
Midwestern Interactive has built its reputation as a technology talent partner for organizations that need specialized support for new or existing digital projects. Its services include product development teams, embedded technical experts, recruitment support, prototyping, creative consulting, and delivery of scalable technology solutions. The company is positioned to help mission-aligned organizations move faster while reducing the operational burden of complex technology work.
A central part of Midwestern’s value is its ability to combine advanced technical expertise with an understanding of ministry and nonprofit environments. The company brings experience comparable to large enterprise technology teams while tailoring its work to organizations that may not have the internal capacity to build or maintain sophisticated digital systems. That combination is becoming increasingly important as more organizations explore next-generation tools, including agentic AI and platform-based workflows.
Supporting AI and Global Growth
The acquisition also comes as Gloo looks to broaden its international reach and enhance its AI-driven service offerings. Midwestern is preparing to launch an AI-enabled global talent engine designed to connect organizations with cost-effective technical capabilities across regions. For Gloo, that development could provide a wider talent base and a more flexible model for helping customers implement technology solutions at scale.
The move reflects a broader trend among mission-based organizations, which are increasingly turning to technology platforms to modernize operations, expand outreach, and improve engagement. Gloo’s platform is designed to support those needs through values-aligned AI, workflow modernization, data tools, marketing services, and donor solutions. With Midwestern fully integrated into its ownership structure, Gloo is positioning itself to offer both the platform and the technical talent needed to implement complex digital initiatives.
Leadership and Operational Continuity
Midwestern founder and CEO Matt Johnson said the relationship with Gloo has evolved from a strategic investment into a deeper shared mission. He said becoming wholly owned by Gloo gives Midwestern’s team access to greater resources, reach, and capabilities while allowing it to focus on high-impact technology work. Johnson also emphasized that Midwestern’s role is to remove technology burdens from mission-aligned organizations so they can concentrate on serving people and communities.
Despite the ownership change, Midwestern will continue operating under its existing brand and leadership as a wholly owned subsidiary of Gloo Holdings. This structure suggests Gloo intends to preserve Midwestern’s market identity and operational model while increasing strategic coordination between the two companies. Maintaining leadership continuity may also help reassure existing customers and partners during the transition.
The planned acquisition of Midwestern’s remaining stake signals Gloo’s intent to strengthen its technology services and accelerate growth across the faith and flourishing ecosystem. By combining its AI-enabled platform with Midwestern’s talent delivery model, Gloo is aiming to provide organizations with both the infrastructure and expertise required for digital transformation. If completed as expected, the deal will give Gloo full ownership of a longtime partner at a time when demand for applied AI, global engineering capacity, and mission-focused technology support continues to grow.
