Vancouver-based Yocale.ai Inc. announced its Class A common shares began trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) under the symbol 'YAI' effective May 7, 2026. The listing represents a milestone for the company, which offers an AI-powered operating system designed specifically for the beauty and wellness industry, combining software-as-a-service (SaaS) with embedded fintech to unify bookings, payments, client engagement, and daily operations for salons, med-spas, and wellness practices.
Unlike many tech startups that go public to raise capital for product development, Yocale.ai enters the market with its product already built. The company's focus is on commercial growth, directing investment toward scaling the value already embedded in the platform. According to CEO Aydin Asli, the technology was developed over more than a decade alongside service business owners who understood the challenges of running such enterprises. "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 in a press release.
Yocale.ai's platform is built on more than a decade of development through the Yocale platform, which has supported thousands of service providers across more than 22 countries. The company's technology aims to bring operational intelligence once reserved for national chains to every independent salon, med-spa, and wellness operator. The vision extends beyond simple scheduling and payments: a unified system spanning bookings, payments, and client relationships, with embedded fintech, CRM, and scheduling all on the same platform. This allows artificial intelligence to read the full operation in real time, anticipate demand, support smarter pricing decisions, and personalize client touchpoints at scale. "The result is a business that runs itself smarter every day, learning from every transaction, every interaction, and every signal," Asli explained.
To support market liquidity, the company has engaged Independent Trading Group (ITG) Inc. to provide market-making services. ITG will trade Yocale.ai'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 ITG receiving compensation of $5,500 per month. Neither ITG nor its principals have any direct or indirect interest in the company's securities.
With the CSE listing, Yocale.ai is positioned to accelerate its growth and expand its reach in the beauty and wellness market. The listing on the CSE is a key part of how Yocale.ai plans to execute and scale its mission, providing a public platform to attract investors and support its commercial expansion.
