# Yellow.ai goes public via $550M Bluerock SPAC merger, valued at $300M pre-money

> Yellow.ai, an enterprise company that builds AI agents for customer service and operations, is going public through a merger with Bluerock Acquisition Corp, a special purpose acquisition company. The deal values Yellow.ai at $300 million pre-money and the combined company at roughly $550 million pro forma, with an additional $30 million in PIPE financing from strategic investors, and is expected to close in the second half of 2026. Once complete, the merged company will trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker 'YAI.' Yellow.ai sells service-automation software that handles customer support and back-office workflows for large enterprises around the world, positioning itself in the increasingly crowded market for agentic AI aimed at replacing or augmenting call-center and operations staff. Taking the SPAC route is notable at a time when many AI companies are staying private and raising enormous sums from venture investors. For Yellow.ai, a public listing offers liquidity and a currency for future deals, though the relatively modest valuation is a reminder that enterprise AI vendors face real competition and scrutiny over whether their automation actually delivers the promised savings.
