GAYA – Ancient Wisdom. Swiss Precision.

GAYA, an ETH startup, reinvents your daily ritual by crafting coffee alternatives and functional botanical drinks with the precision of Swiss science and the ancient wisdom of mushrooms and plants, built around the three pillars of preventative health: Energy, Exercise, Sleep. Why? It started with a coffee addiction. While the founders were building their first ventures, YASAI & VAY, they ran on caffeine until the cost caught up. They searched the world for an alternative to coffee, finding the solution in New York: functional mushrooms. Now GAYA is raising CHF 800k (CHF 350k already secured as CLAs) to scale the business further across Switzerland and enter global markets.
