## About Kirenaga Partners

VC Fund · Bronxville, United States

Kirenaga is an early-stage venture investing firm, focusing on disruptive technologies with explosive growth potential that make a positive societal impact. We believe you can 'Do Well by Doing Good.' The Kirenaga approach is both well-defined and repeatable:(1) We source new technologies in the fertile grounds of Central Florida,and we write the 'missing check' of $1-3 million that other firms won't. This allows Kirenaga to invest in amazing deals at exceptionally attractive entry valuations.(2) We de-risk and then scale our portfolio companies by investing enough money for 18-24 months of runway and utilizing our partners' operating expertise. We connect our portfolio companies with our national network of professionals, suppliers, clients and talent, so our companies can compete and win. Our hands-on approach reduces risk and increases the speed of growth.
