When a new startup gets a 4 letter dot com domain name, I have to assume they found an available or for sale four letter domain name that was pronounceable then tried to push some meaning into it. Four letter dot coms are not exactly easy to find. I'd probably not read too much into the word itself.

However, if it is a hard G, that's good, because that's how I've been saying it.

It may not have initially been chosen for its meaning, but on their website they do say this:

What Does "Kagi" Mean? The word "kagi" means "key" in Japanese.

You pronounce kagi in Japanese as ka-gi with a hard G. (Source: Wiktionary)
