# Blackstone Technology Group

> Blackstone Technology Group is a San Francisco technology holding company whose two operating businesses solve different versions of the same problem: Blackstone Talent Group supplies specialized technical and professional workers, while Trellis Energy supplies cloud software for the physical and financial machinery of natural-gas transactions. The unusual combination grew out of an IT consultancy founded in 1998; after Blackstone sold its federal-services division to ASGN for $85 million in 2020, the parent retained its talent and energy-software businesses.
