Corgi Hits $4 Billion Valuation in Series B Extension
Founded in San Francisco in 2024 by Nico Laqua and Emily Yuan, Corgi is building an AI-native, full-stack commercial insurance platform for startups. As a licensed carrier, it combines underwriting, policy administration, claims and embedded distribution, targeting risks such as cyber and AI liability that legacy policies may exclude or treat ambiguously.

The deal followed a $160 million Series B led by TCV in early May at $1.3 billion and a $106 million B1 on May 28 at $2.6 billion, also led by TCV with investors including Kindred Ventures and Prime Capital. Sources said annualized revenue was on track to reach $450 million by year-end, up from about $40 million in January.
