Yanaa Seed Round
About
We are raising a seed round to scale Yanaa, a French food biotech company rethinking sports nutrition through real food. Yanaa develops organic, chef-crafted products for athletes, combining food science, gastronomy and natural ingredients to create a healthier alternative to ultra-processed gels, bars and powders.
Rooted in sustainable food systems, Yanaa draws on bioregional ingredients and regenerative food thinking to build nutrition that supports both planetary and human health. Our approach connects performance nutrition with the wider living food system, showing that products designed for endurance, recovery and gut comfort can also contribute to healthier soils, more resilient regional agriculture and a more ecological model of eating.
This investment will support product development, manufacturing scale-up, commercial growth and market expansion. Our ambition is to build a new category of sports nutrition that delivers performance, recovery and digestive comfort while advancing a regenerative vision of food — one that nourishes athletes, landscapes and communities together.
Yanaa sits at the intersection of food biotech, performance nutrition and regenerative food systems. We are looking to partner with investors who believe in the future of clean-label functional food, bioregional sourcing, sustainable innovation and nutrition designed for both human and planetary wellbeing.
