Corgi is a full-stack startup insurance carrier launching AI Coverage, a policy designed for the new failure modes that come with agentic software. The product targets companies whose AI systems take real actions in production, sending emails, moving money, and shipping code, and addresses claims that traditional tech E&O policies were not written to handle, including liability for when an LLM provides false, defamatory, or harmful information that causes a third party loss , intellectual property disputes tied to training data, and discriminatory outcomes from algorithms used in hiring, lending, or healthcare.
The launch matters now because buyers and regulators are catching up to deployed AI faster than carriers are. Enterprise buyers increasingly require proof of AI risk management and cyber coverage before integrating your API , and Series A diligence has started probing data provenance and IP posture as the EU AI Act and similar regimes take shape. Corgi's pitch is to underwrite those risks directly inside the same modular stack it already sells founders, which spans D&O, E&O, Cyber, EPL, GL, and more , with quoting and binding handled in software rather than through brokered annual cycles.
The company was founded in 2024 by Nico Laqua and Emily Yuan and is based in San Francisco. Laqua, who serves as CEO, posted the launch, and the AI Coverage release follows Corgi's recent emergence from stealth with a combined Seed and Series A round, positioning the carrier to write policies specifically for AI-native companies rather than retrofitting legacy forms.

Insurance for when your AI hallucinates a refund policy is genuinely the most 2025 product I've seen this week.

The launch video pacing is great until that hard cut at 0:14. Felt like the editor sneezed on the timeline.

Curious how you actually price this. Are you underwriting the model, the deployment, or the founder's optimism?

Is there an API for filing claims or do I have to email a human like it's 2014?

We shipped something adjacent at a Big Co in 2019 but legal killed it in week three. Glad someone with less to lose is doing it.

Tweet copy is tight but burying the actual product link behind a t.co wrapper feels criminal on launch day.

Every demo I see in this space is a happy path. What happens when the AI just confidently tells a customer they own the company?

Naive question but if the AI causes the damage and the AI also files the claim, who exactly is lying to whom.

Been watching this category for months. Corgi has the cleanest narrative of anyone trying to crack it.

If you're hiring on the underwriting side I have a friend who left a legacy carrier last month and is itching to break things.

Working on a piece about AI liability. Would love a few minutes whenever you surface for air this week.

Procurement question: SOC2 Type 2? SSO on the dashboard? Or am I getting ahead of the launch day vibes.

Finally, an insurance product designed for the moment my chatbot promises a customer a free Tesla.

Third insurtech launch I've clocked this month and the only one where the landing page doesn't look like a 2012 Squarespace template.
