Corgi

Corgi Re is a new reinsurance platform from Corgi, the San Francisco insurance carrier founded in 2024 by Nico Laqua and Emily Yuan out of Y Combinator's Summer 2024 batch. The company started by writing general liability, cyber, and tech and AI liability policies for venture-backed startups, and this launch moves it upstream to sell coverage to insurance companies themselves, providing the capacity carriers use to manage catastrophic risk, protect balance sheets, and keep paying policyholders after major disasters. Reinsurance is a market historically built on decades-long relationships, complex data, and slow underwriting, which is why Corgi is pairing its underwriting technology and lean operating model with industry veterans who can open doors. The effort is led by Jeremy Eisemann, Corgi's Head of Government Affairs and Deputy General Counsel, who joined from the Reinsurance Association of America and previously spent years at Liberty Mutual. Corgi Re will operate inside the company's existing regulated insurance infrastructure alongside its admitted carrier, risk retention groups, captives, and MGA entities. For founders and operators, the takeaway is that the same platform selling them their first D&O or Tech E&O policy is now underwriting the carriers behind those policies, which is a meaningful step toward Corgi's stated goal of running full-stack insurance infrastructure rather than sitting at a single layer of the stack.
