VERSES® Expands Commercial Relationship with Major Global Investment Firm
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — (OTCQB: VRSSF) (“VERSES” or the “Company”), a cognitive computing company specializing in next-generation agentic software systems, today announced an additional expansion and extension of its relationship with a major global investment firm. The Company will extend its existing consulting arrangement to further embed Genius™ in the customer organization.
In this phase, VERSES will work with investment and risk management team members at the investment firm to further assess the effectiveness of using VERSES models within their existing process workflows. This work will build on the previous phase, in which VERSES developed an active inference causal model of financial markets to inform asset allocation decisions. VERSES first worked with this investment firm in early 2025, then upgraded to a Genius enterprise license in June 2025, and further extended the relationship in September 2025.
“We continue to be focused on developing and commercializing Genius for financial services. We believe that this contract extension is a vote of confidence in our ability to drive value for large asset managers,” said David T. Scott, VERSES interim CEO.
