Corgi, an AI-powered insurance platform for startups, raised $160 million in Series B funding led by TCV, reaching a $1.3 billion valuation just four months after its previous round.
The startup uses artificial intelligence to automate core insurance functions including quote generation and claims management. The funding round demonstrates investor confidence in AI-driven insurance solutions targeting the startup ecosystem.
