Absorb
Absorb is an AI-powered learning platform for employee training, customer and partner education, compliance, content creation, skills development, analytics, and embedded learning.
About
Absorb Software is a Calgary-based learning-technology company founded in 2003 and co-founded by Mike Owens. Its current AI-powered platform supports employee training, customer and partner education, compliance, onboarding, course creation, mentoring, skills development, analytics, e-commerce, and learning embedded inside other products. Absorb reports more than 3,800 customer organizations and 37 million learners. Current company materials describe a workforce of more than 600 people, consistent with the 501–1,000 employee band on its official LinkedIn page. Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe acquired Absorb in April 2021; the transaction is ownership history, not a $59 million funding total. Learning & Development remains the correct primary category, and the profile now follows the current Absorb AI domain and brand.
