In 2019, Pythian Services was acquired by NYC based private equity firm Mill Point Capital. MPC invested in organic and inorganic growth as well as IP and GTM. In 2020, Pythian purchased Agosto. Agosto is a Minneapolis-based Google Cloud reseller and IT service management company specializing in IoT.[9] In 2021, Pythian acquired ManageServe, a Chicago-based SAP managed & professional services company.
