Draft:Corgi Insurance

Corgi Insurance Services, Inc. ("Corgi") is an American technology company that operates an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered insurance carrier based in San Francisco, California. The company was founded in 2024 by Nico Laqua and Emily Yuan.

Corgi Insurance develops and operates a fully integrated insurance stack using AI agents to automate traditional carrier operations, becoming the world’s first “AI insurance company”[1]. The company owns multiple subsidiaries operating under a dog-themed naming convention.

Overview

Corgi Insurance was founded with the goal of “building the AI insurance company” by vertically integrating all functions of the insurance value chain (underwriting, distribution, and claims) through automation.

The company is known for operating on a seven-day-a-week schedule and has a culture described as being extremely execution-focused, where sleeping in the office is a common practice[2][3].

Founder Backgrounds

Nico Laqua and Emily Yuan are the co-founders of Corgi Insurance. The two previously built Basket Entertainment, a gaming publisher that reached more than 200 million monthly active users before shifting their focus to financial technology and insurance.[1]

Laqua serves as Chief Executive Officer, leading Corgi’s overall vision and AI-driven carrier strategy. Before founding Corgi, he worked across startups in entertainment and fintech, building experience in large-scale digital infrastructure and product growth.

Yuan, who had dropped out of her computer science program at Stanford University, is Chief Operating Officer, overseeing operations, product, and internal scaling. She focuses on building Corgi’s founder-heavy culture and its expansion into regulated insurance verticals.

Product and Tech

The company was founded on the premise that insurance, an industry notorious for text-based processes (policies, claims, and filings), is uniquely positioned for language model automation. As of 2025, Corgi reports using AI to process claims, review policy language, and assess compliance across its subsidiaries.
