Corgi Raises $106 Million at $2.6 Billion Valuation, Doubling in 3 Weeks

4 articles · Updated · TechCrunch · May 28

$106 million in new Series B1 funding values Corgi at $2.6 billion, just three weeks after its $160 million Series B priced the insurtech at $1.3 billion.
Revenue growth and fast-rising demand across new product lines and partnerships drove the step-up, Corgi and investor Kindred Ventures said, while the company also cited insurance's capital intensity and AI platform costs.
LPs are increasingly scrutinizing such rapid internal markups because repricing without a liquidity event can inflate paper performance, though Kindred said its investors focus more on exits than interim valuation gains.
Founded in 2024, Corgi sells startup-focused coverage including cyber, general liability and AI-related risks, and said the fresh capital will fund new insurance categories, embedded distribution and hiring.
Corgi has now raised $378 million in total as investors keep backing insurtechs serving startup risks that many legacy carriers still exclude or price ambiguously.
