Exit: Acton sells stake in French healthcare champion Hublo to Five Arrows

Since its founding in 2016, Hublo has been on a mission to transform the daily lives of healthcare professionals by modernising the way human resources are managed. Its innovative software suite enables healthcare organisations to recruit, manage, and retain their teams more effectively, allowing staff to focus on what matters most - patient care. Today, Hublo’s solutions are used by over 5,000 healthcare and social care institutions and more than one million caregivers across France.

In a healthcare software market that remains highly fragmented, Hublo is positioning itself as the leading provider of a unified digital platform dedicated to workforce management. To achieve this ambition, the company is pursuing a strategy focused on continuous innovation, the expansion of its product offering, and the development of strategic partnerships – most recently demonstrated through the acquisitions of Permuteo and Staffea in April 2025. The investment from Five Arrows will support Hublo, alongside its founding and leadership team, in accelerating their growth journey, both organically and through acquisitions, in France and internationally. With deep experience in scaling healthcare technology platforms, Five Arrows will bring long-term strategic and operational support to the company.

“The entry of Five Arrows marks a significant step in our growth. With their support, we are well positioned to deliver on our vision, both in France and abroad, to service the healthcare system. A new chapter begins.” --Antoine Loron, co-founder and co-CEO of Hublo

“Hublo stands out as the leading next generation platform for talent management in healthcare. We have been impressed by the team’s vision, execution, and commitment to creating solutions that make life easier for caregivers and healthcare institutions alike so they can focus on delivering quality care when it is needed. We look forward to working closely with the founders and management team to support Hublo in this next phase of growth.” --Jean-Daniel Bertoncini, partner at Five Arrows

“Since Acton’s investment in 2021, Hublo has evolved into a clear market leader in the French health tech space. This successful exit is another validation for Acton’s investment strategy of backing European leaders in vertical SaaS applications.” --Sebastian Wossagk, Managing Partner at Acton Capital
