BOULDER: Gloo (Nasdaq: GLOO), a technology platform for the faith and flourishing ecosystem, said Tuesday it has agreed to acquire the remaining 20% stake of Midwestern Interactive, giving it full ownership of the talent partner firm.
The move deepens a longstanding collaboration between the two companies, which already shared strategic ties. Financial terms were not disclosed.
“Bringing Midwestern fully under the Gloo umbrella is the natural next step in the longstanding collaboration between our companies,” said Scott Beck, CEO of Gloo. “Our relationship has been built on shared values and demonstrated results, and we see this as unlocking even deeper alignment across strategy, product and execution.”
Midwestern Interactive helps faith-based organizations and other mission-driven groups find technology talent for new or existing initiatives, offering services ranging from embedded team members to in-house recruitment. The company is preparing to launch an AI-enabled global talent “engine,” which Gloo said will help expand its footprint globally through cost-effective talent capabilities.
“As we look toward serving the global faith and flourishing ecosystem through applied AI and forward deployed engineering, Midwestern is expected to be central to how we scale,” Beck added.
Midwestern brings Fortune 500-level technical expertise to the faith sector, including work on agentic AI and next-generation applications. The company’s model allows organizations to move faster to market while reducing technical burdens, according to founder and CEO Matt Johnson.
“What started as a strategic investment has grown into something much deeper, with a shared mission and a shared future,” Johnson said. “Becoming a wholly owned part of Gloo gives our team the resources, reach and capabilities to do the most impactful work of our careers.”
Midwestern will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary under its own brand and leadership. The deal is expected to close in the second quarter.
Gloo, based in Boulder, Colorado, serves more than 140,000 faith, ministry and nonprofit leaders.
