Docebo Acquires 365Talents to Power the Future of Skills Intelligence

We are proud to announce that 365Talents, a leader in AI-driven skills intelligence has been acquired by Docebo (NASDAQ: DCBO; TSX: DCBO), a global leader in learning technologies.

The transaction, valued at approximately $54.6 million in upfront cash—with an additional earn-out of up to $5.1 million—marks a significant milestone in the evolution of the HR Tech and EdTech landscapes.

From Seed to Exit: The 365Talents Trajectory

At Axeleo Capital, we first partnered with 365Talents as seed investor, recognizing early on the transformative potential of their vision. Founded in France, 365Talents set out to solve a fundamental challenge for large enterprises: the inability to map, manage, and mobilize internal talent based on real-time skills rather than static job titles.

Over the years, we have watched the team scale their proprietary AI and "Skills Intelligence" engine, successfully deploying it across global organizations to drive internal mobility and employee engagement. Their trajectory from a pioneering French startup to a strategic acquisition by a NASDAQ-listed global powerhouse is a testament to the team’s execution and the increasing criticality of skills data in the modern workplace.

A Strategic Fit for the Global Market

The integration of 365Talents into the Docebo ecosystem creates a powerful synergy. By combining Docebo’s world-class Learning Management System (LMS) with 365Talents’ AI-driven skills mapping, the combined entity will offer a comprehensive solution for "Skills-Based Organizations."

This acquisition allows Docebo to:

• Automate Skill Mapping: Leveraging 365Talents’ AI to identify employee skills at scale.
• Personalize Development: Linking learning content directly to identified skill gaps and career paths.
• Optimize Internal Mobility: Helping organizations fill roles from within by matching existing talent to new opportunities.

Looking Ahead

As Seed investors, witnessing the full lifecycle of 365Talents—from its early conceptual stages to this significant exit—reaffirms our commitment to backing visionary founders building mission-critical enterprise software.

We want to congratulate the entire 365Talents team on this achievement. We look forward to seeing how their technology, now amplified by Docebo’s global reach, will continue to reshape the future of work.
