=In November 2012, Cherwell received a $25 million investment from Insight Venture Partners. The investment was highly unusual for the industry: in exchange for their capital investment, Insight Venture was only granted common stock in the company and did not receive control over day to day operations.

In January 2013, the Service Desk Institute accredited Cherwell service management.

In August 2018, Brown left to lead the National Cybersecurity Center, and Sam Gilliland became chief executive.
On June 4, 2020, Cherwell announced Rob Salvagno of KKR and Drew Harman of Insight Venture Partners joined their board. Dave Welsh from KKR, a board member since 2018 became chairman.
