Citizen Capital exits 365Talents following its acquisition by Docebo

Update the 22 Jan 2026

Citizen Capital announces the sale of its stake in 365Talents, a Lyon-based HR Tech SaaS company specializing in AI-powered skills management, following its acquisition by Docebo Inc., a Nasdaq-listed Canadian company and global leader in AI-driven Learning Management Systems (LMS).

The transaction, completed for $55 million in cash, represents a significant exit in the European HR Tech and SaaS ecosystem. It underscores the growing strategic importance of AI-based skills mapping and talent matching technologies in corporate workforce transformation.

With nearly $9 million in expected revenues in 2026, 365Talents has established itself as a key player in skills intelligence and internal mobility solutions for large organizations.

365Talents: an AI-powered skills management platform

Founded in 2015, 365Talents develops a SaaS platform designed to build a dynamic skills framework within organizations. The solution enables companies to make employee skills visible, actionable, and strategically aligned with business needs.

By structuring and analyzing HR data, the platform helps organizations:

map skills in real time,
identify career pathways across roles,
provide personalized internal mobility opportunities.

This data-driven approach positions 365Talents at the intersection of HR analytics, workforce planning, and AI-powered talent management.

Artificial intelligence serving internal mobility

At the core of 365Talents’ value proposition lies a proprietary artificial intelligence engine capable of analyzing employee profiles, experiences, and aspirations to generate relevant career and development recommendations.

By enabling internal mobility at scale, the platform helps companies:

improve employee engagement,
enhance workforce agility,
strengthen long-term employability.

A strategic acquisition for Docebo

By integrating 365Talents’ skills intelligence capabilities, Docebo strengthens its global LMS offering with advanced skills identification and matching technology.

Together, the two platforms now cover a large portion of the talent development value chain:

skills analysis,
gap identification,
personalized learning pathways,
continuous workforce development.

This acquisition reflects the growing convergence between learning platforms, skills data, and AI-driven workforce management.

A significant exit for Citizen Capital

Citizen Capital invested in 365Talents in 2021 alongside IXO Private Equity, supporting the company’s growth and international development.

This transaction illustrates the increasing global attractiveness of European HR Tech companies and confirms the strategic value of AI-powered skills management solutions in today’s corporate environment.

Congratulations to founders Loïc Michel, Mathieu Martin and Paul Mougel, as well as the entire 365Talents team, on this new milestone.
