Yaga, elegantly pronounced \/Yah-Gah\/, offers a unique blend of hospitality and horticulture. Its descriptive name, deriving from the Nisga'a language, reflects its strategic location in Seal Cove and captures the essence of the company's focus on nature and freshness.
Founded in 2025, this innovative startup specializes in a fusion of food service and gardening. Boasting a café that serves delicious offerings crafted from locally sourced fresh greens and herbs, Yaga also features a comprehensive garden centre. This centre includes a vast array of hanging baskets, bedding plants, and homegrown salads, offering a hands-on encounter with nature.
Yaga recently achieved a €4.00M Pre-Seed investment on the 21st of October, 2025. The investment round was led by a diverse group of notable investors including Startup Wise Guys, Trind Ventures, H&M Group, Specialist VC, and several angel investors. This substantial financial backing underscores potential growth opportunities within the largely untapped market intersection of food and home gardening.
