Yocale.ai Inc. (CSE: YAI) announced that its Class A common shares began trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) under the symbol 'YAI' effective at market open on May 7, 2026. The listing represents a significant milestone for the company as it seeks to expand its AI-powered operating system for the beauty and wellness industry.
Yocale.ai's platform combines SaaS, embedded fintech, and AI automation into a single configurable system that unifies bookings, payments, client engagement, and day-to-day operations. The company's technology was built over more than a decade through the Yocale platform, which has supported thousands of service providers across more than 22 countries. According to CEO Aydin Asli, the platform is designed to give small business owners the same operational intelligence that has traditionally been available only to national chains. "Small business owners are the backbone of the economy, and for too long the tools, the insights, and the leverage that drive corporate America have been out of their reach," Asli said.
The company's vision involves a unified platform where AI can read the full operation in real time, anticipate demand, support smarter pricing decisions, and personalize client touchpoints at scale. Asli emphasized that the platform learns from every transaction and interaction, enabling a business to run itself smarter every day. The listing on the CSE is intended to help execute and scale this mission.
In conjunction with the listing, Yocale.ai announced that it has engaged Independent Trading Group (ITG) Inc. to provide market-making services in accordance with CSE policies. ITG will trade the company's common shares on the CSE and other trading venues with the objective of maintaining a reasonable market and improving liquidity. The agreement is for an initial term of one month, renewable monthly, with compensation of $5,500 per month. Neither party may terminate the agreement on 30 days' notice, and ITG will not receive shares or options as compensation. ITG and Yocale.ai are unrelated and unaffiliated entities.
Independent Trading Group, established in 1992, is a Toronto-based CIRO dealer-member specializing in market making, liquidity provision, and algorithmic trading solutions. The engagement of ITG is expected to support trading activity in the company's shares.
The start of trading on the CSE provides Yocale.ai with access to capital markets to fund its growth initiatives. The company's focus is on commercial growth and scaling the value already embedded in its platform, which serves independent salons, med-spas, and multi-location wellness brands. By offering a single operating system that integrates core business functions, Yocale.ai aims to level the playing field for small service providers, enabling them to compete more effectively with larger enterprises.
