Our Inspiration: Stay Sharp
Kirenaga is a Japanese term used to describe a knife or sword blade. It literally translates to duration of sharpness or amount of edge retention.
We were drawn to the term Kirenaga because it represents the principles we aspire to embody as a company – to find and maintain a distinctive edge in everything we do. It takes a commitment to excellence and great craftsmanship to balance the metallic properties of hardness and toughness to create a blade with high “kirenaga.”
It takes a similar commitment to excellence and craftsmanship to find and structure investments that enable our portfolio companies to simultaneously grow and create enduring value. Companies, just like blades, will lose their edge over time. Therefore, we must always remain vigilant to ensure that we, as well as our companies, Stay Sharp and Retain an Edge.
