# Yellow.ai goes public via $550M SPAC merger

> Yellow.ai, an enterprise company that builds agentic AI for customer service and business operations, is heading to the public markets through a SPAC merger with Bluerock Acquisition Corp. The deal carries a pro forma equity value of about 550 million dollars against a pre-money valuation near 300 million, and the combined company plans to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker YAI. The proceeds are earmarked for expanding the AI platform, growing sales in North America and Europe, and acquiring business-process outsourcing operations, a telling move as AI agents increasingly encroach on the call-center and back-office work that outsourcing firms have long owned. Management expects the transaction to close in the second half of 2026. SPAC listings fell out of favor after their pandemic-era boom, so a fresh one built around agentic AI is notable in itself. For a sector where most attention flows to giant private rounds, Yellow.ai going public offers a rare, if modest, public-market read on how investors value a real, revenue-generating enterprise AI business rather than a frontier lab.
