Brand Engagement Network (NASDAQ: BNAI) has entered into a binding term sheet to invest up to $1 million in Accelevate Solutions, a division of HighTide Energy, Inc. The deal is structured with an initial $250,000 payment to support commercialization and deployment, followed by a second $750,000 installment that will be paid once both parties complete mutual reseller agreements.
The partnership brings Accelevate’s fleet‑AI infrastructure—real‑time data on vehicle fuel, powertrain, route conditions, and driver touchpoints—into BNAI’s proprietary Engagement Language Model (ELM™). Together the platforms will deliver in‑vehicle, hands‑free guidance, training, and compliance messaging that connects enterprise systems to distributed workforces in live fleet environments. This marks BNAI’s first foray into the commercial fleet market, a sector estimated to be worth billions in annual technology spend and a new revenue channel beyond its existing regulated‑industry focus.
Accelevate’s technology, described as “fleet autonomy” and “Energy Blend Artificial Intelligence (EBAI),” replaces traditional telematics with AI‑powered decision support. BNAI’s recent U.S. Patent No. 12,581,163, titled “Systems and Methods for Delivering User‑Specific Messages,” underpins the in‑vehicle messaging capability and gives the company a competitive edge in the emerging fleet‑AI space.
BNAI’s financial performance in the prior year shows a narrowing net loss: $8.6 million in FY 2025 versus $33.7 million in FY 2024, and a Q4 2025 earnings per share of –$0.67, beating estimates of –$1.40. The company’s revenue of $0.20 million in Q4 2025 fell short of the $1.00 million estimate, reflecting the early stage of its commercial expansion. The new partnership is expected to accelerate revenue growth and improve profitability by leveraging BNAI’s high‑margin AI platform in a large, high‑spending market.
Tyler Luck, CEO of Brand Engagement Network, said the collaboration “moves AI from insight into action.” He added that the newly secured patent enables AI to interpret real‑time conditions and coordinate actions across systems, positioning BNAI to capture recurring revenue from fleet operators. Charles Maury, CEO and CTO of Accelevate Solutions, noted that the integration “advances automated decision intelligence for operations, procurement strategies, and fleet optimization.”
The investment signals BNAI’s confidence in the commercial fleet market and its ability to monetize its AI platform through industry‑specific collaborations. By combining Accelevate’s data‑rich fleet infrastructure with BNAI’s engagement engine, the company aims to create a differentiated, hands‑free in‑vehicle experience that could open a new, scalable revenue stream and strengthen its competitive position in the AI‑enabled enterprise solutions space.
