Corgi

Corgi is a direct, AI-native insurance carrier that underwrites and issues commercial policies for technology startups. Founded in 2024 by Nico Laqua (CEO/CTO) and Emily Yuan (COO) and backed by Y Combinator (Summer 2024 batch), the company operates as a licensed carrier through Technology Risk Retention Group, Inc. (TRRG; CA License #6012791), with full regulatory approval obtained in July 2025. Core lines include Commercial General Liability, Directors & Officers, Tech & AI Liability, Cyber, Employment Practices Liability, Fiduciary, and Media Liability. The company targets early-stage to Series B+ startups in SaaS, AI, fintech, and marketplace sectors across North America.

Corgi uses AI across underwriting, policy administration, and claims processing. Policies are bound directly through its self-service platform at app.corgi.insure -- no broker involvement. The company cites same-day binding as a standard capability versus the multi-day timelines typical of traditional carriers. Its underwriting models are designed around the risk profiles of technology companies rather than legacy industry classifications.

As of May 2026, Corgi reached unicorn status with a valuation of USD 2.6 billion following rapid successive fundraises. Annual recurring revenue exceeded USD 40 million by early 2026. The company has raised USD 378 million in total across Seed, Series A (USD 108M led by Glade Brook Capital, January 2026), Series B (USD 160M led by TCV, May 2026), and Series B1 (USD 106M, May 2026) rounds. Notable named customers include Deel and Artisan.
