When GoGo AI Network (CSE: GOGO / OTC: GOGAF) first took a position in Algo8 the company’s ownership sat at roughly 11%. It was a meaningful but modest stake in what was then a private, early-stage industrial AI platform. Fast forward to June 2026, and GoGo has signed a definitive arrangement agreement that will spin Algo8 out into its own publicly listed entity on the Canadian Securities Exchange, with former GoGo shareholders ending up with approximately 32% of the new operating company. Here we’ll take a look at how the deal validates GoGo’s model, the potential value generated for shareholders, and the road ahead for both companies.
The Spin-Out
The mechanics of the deal are worth understanding because they are genuinely investor-friendly. Under the arrangement, existing GoGo shareholders keep all of their current GOGO shares. They also receive 0.25 shares in the new Spin Co entity (called Algo8 Industrial AI Inc.) for every GoGo share they hold, which means their indirect exposure to Algo8’s technology and commercial pipeline converts into direct, tradeable ownership of a standalone AI company.
Algo8 Industrial AI Inc. is expected to launch with a combined cash position of approximately $5 million ($1.5M from GoGo and $3.5M already held at Algo8), giving it a reasonably clean balance sheet to begin life as a public company. GoGo itself continues operating as a CSE-listed investment issuer, free to redeploy capital into its next opportunity. The same management team that built the Algo8 position is still in place and still running the playbook.
The question investors should be asking is not just what this deal means for today’s balance sheet, but what it says about the process. GoGo identified Algo8 at an early stage, backed it with an initial stake in March 2025, and watched that position grow in both absolute and relative terms as the company matured. That deal involved a $900k investment based on an $8 million pre-money valuation. In April 2026, about a year after GoGo’s entrance, Chemelex chipped in C$2.79 million with a C$60 million pre-money valuation.
The Technology
Chemelex is not a passive financial sponsor writing speculative checks. It is a subsidiary of Brookfield Corporation, one of the world’s most sophisticated industrial infrastructure owners which manages over a trillion dollars in assets globally. When a Brookfield-affiliated entity invests in an early-stage AI company at a defined valuation, takes a board advisory seat, and commits to deploying that technology across its customer network, it is doing so because it has watched the product work inside real industrial environments and made a deliberate judgment that the technology works and can scale effectively.
Watch an interview with Algo8 Co-Founder and CEO Nandan Mishra. He explains the platform’s capabilities, discusses current deployments, and gives insight into how the company differentiates itself.
What Chemelex validated is Algo8’s PlantBrain™ platform, a full-stack AI operating system for industrial facilities. PlantBrain ingests operational data from across a plant: SCADA systems, sensors, PLCs, ERP feeds, all of it, and converts that raw signal into real-time guidance on what to optimize, what is about to fail, and how to squeeze more output from the same physical infrastructure. The platform currently has over 50 live deployments across sectors including steel, tire, automotive, and energy.
These are revenue-generating engagements with large-cap customers. The tire manufacturer contract announced in January 2026, for example, carries an initial contract value of approximately $4 million, with annual maintenance and support fees of roughly $720,000 per year for five years after full deployment. The customer is a publicly listed, large-cap manufacturer with a market cap exceeding $2.8 billion. In steel, Algo8’s AI decision support system delivered 4.39 MW in export power savings and improved workforce productivity by over 3,700 hours annually at a major deployment. Results like this are the kind of quantified outcomes that make industrial buyers sign multi-year agreements and decide to invest in the platform’s expansion.
The broader market context only reinforces why Algo8’s timing is compelling. Industrial AI is moving rapidly from isolated pilot programs to permanent plant-floor deployments, and the companies winning in this space are those that can demonstrate measurable improvement in gross value added, energy consumption, and yield. Algo8’s architecture, built around real-time operational intelligence rather than generalized language models, is designed precisely for this environment. The combination of a 50-deployment track record, a Brookfield-backed strategic investor, and a public listing that will allow for further capital formation puts the company in a strong position to accelerate its commercial footprint.
Investor Takeaway
For GoGo’s existing shareholders, this spinout represents the full expression of the investment model: find a company with defensible technology before the market has fully priced it, support it through its development stage, and create a moment where the value crystallizes in a form shareholders can directly hold and trade. The jump from 11% to approximately 32% effective ownership of a public industrial AI company with live enterprise deployments, institutional backing, and a growing revenue base is a tangible return on that early conviction. And now GoGo continues as a funded investment issuer, looking for the next Algo8. The ability to run the same playbook with a new portfolio company is ultimately what makes GoGo’s model worth watching beyond this single transaction.
