London (UK), September 2025 - The acquisition of Huler signals Thrive’s continued mission to design a unified future for learning and employee experience, with technology people actually want - and use.

The acquisition of Huler, a smart intranet with AI-powered search and personalisation, signals Thrive’s continued mission to design a unified future for learning and employee experience, with technology people actually want - and use.

It’s the second acquisition for the company this month, following its deal with Guider, the UK’s leading mentoring and coaching platform. 

Together, Huler’s UX-first smart intranet, Thrive’s AI-powered learning, and Guider’s mentoring expertise create the first-ever truly AI-first employee experience - with Huler as the front door to every app, system and interaction at work. 

Founded in 2019, Thrive continues to disrupt the L&D space, boasting a 54% YoY recurring revenue increase and a growing user base of over 3 million employees across brands like British Airways, Vodafone, Burger King, Volvo, and the Scottish Government.

With Huler, Thrive and Guider are creating a beautifully designed, personalised employee hub - a single, central destination where onboarding, internal campaigns, learning content, and workplace tools come together in one seamless experience, fully tailored to each employee’s unique role, goals, and needs.

Huler will continue to operate as a standalone brand, with significant investment in its roadmap, including enhanced analytics, AI-driven personalisation, and a powerful new federated experience that enables users to search across every connected workplace system. This includes deeper integrations with HRIS, learning platforms, skills tools, communication systems, CRM software, and a wide range of business apps, giving employees a single, intelligent access point to everything they need, wherever it lives.
