Docebo Inc.

Founding and early development (2005–2012)

Docebo was founded in 2005 by Claudio Erba and in its formative years, Docebo primarily operated within Italy. The company secured its first round of funding in 2012: €2.4 million from Principia SGR, an Italian venture capital firm, marking an early milestone in its financial growth.

North American expansion and internationalization (2012–2016)

Following its initial success, Docebo embarked on an internationalization strategy. In 2013, the company established its first U.S. office in Athens, Georgia. Docebo received its second venture-backed financing round in 2015: $3 million from Klass Capital, a Canadian firm. This investment supported the company's continued growth in the region and led to the establishment of its corporate headquarters in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Docebo now operates in the global market with offices in Athens, GA; Toronto; London; Paris; Berlin; Biassono; Melbourne; and Dubai.

Public listings (2019–2020)

Docebo transitioned to a public company with its initial public offering (IPO) on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) on October 8, 2019. This Canadian IPO raised gross proceeds of C$75 million. Building on this public market presence, Docebo expanded its reach by commencing trading in the United States on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker symbol "DCBO" on December 7, 2020. This U.S. IPO generated gross proceeds of $144 million.

CEO succession (2023–2024)

In November 2023, Docebo revealed a CEO succession plan. Claudio Erba, the company's founder, transitioned from his role as Chief Executive Officer and a member of the board of directors to become the Chief Innovation Officer, effective February 29, 2024.

AI strategy and expansion into skills (2025-present)

In April 2025, Docebo launched an AI-first product roadmap. In January 2026, Docebo acquired 365Talents, a French AI Skills Intelligence platform. This acquisition was described as an effort to "strengthen Docebo’s ability to help organizations identify, develop, and deploy skills at scale by embedding skills intelligence more directly into learning workflows."
