Business insurance startup Corgi has raised $160 million in a Series B funding round led by TCV, lifting the company’s valuation to $1.3 billion just months after its previous financing.
The funding round takes Corgi’s total capital raised to $268 million since the company launched in 2024. Existing investors, including Kindred Ventures, First Round Capital, Repeat VC, Leblon Capital, and Alpha Square Group, also participated in the latest investment round.
Founded by Emily Yuan and Nico Laqua, Corgi focuses on insurance products designed for startups and technology companies.
Its offerings include general liability insurance, cyber insurance, and AI liability coverage. The company currently serves businesses such as Deel and Artisan.
Funding Growth Accelerates
The Series B round comes roughly four months after Corgi announced its $108 million Series A financing in January 2026. The latest valuation officially places the company among the growing list of unicorn startups valued above $1 billion.
According to company statements, the fresh funding will be used to expand Corgi’s insurance platform into additional sectors, including trucking and logistics. The company also plans to strengthen its underwriting, claims processing, and policy management systems using artificial intelligence tools.
Investor Focus Remains on Insurtech
Investor activity in the insurance technology sector has continued despite slower funding across parts of the broader startup market.
Industry data from CB Insights shows insurtech companies remain active in venture capital fundraising, particularly firms focused on automation, cyber insurance, and AI-powered services.
Corgi operates as a full-stack insurance provider, meaning it manages underwriting and customer service directly rather than only acting as a broker.
The company said its technology platform helps businesses receive insurance coverage faster through automated processes.
In a public statement following the funding announcement, co-founder Nico Laqua said the company plans to continue expanding access to insurance for startups and new industries.
The company did not disclose revenue figures or profitability details alongside the announcement.
