Insurtech Corgi Insurance, an insurtech focused on emerging technology risks, has launched Fine Arts Coverage, expanding its insurance offering to protect eligible artwork and personal collections owned by individuals and businesses.
The coverage applies to eligible works including paintings, photography, sculpture, prints and other collectible art. It is designed to provide protection against covered risks such as damage, theft and loss.
For individuals, the product covers eligible personal art collections kept at home or other covered locations. Business customers can use the coverage for artwork displayed in offices, hospitality venues, galleries and other commercial spaces.
Corgi said the product is intended to make specialist art insurance easier to access for customers whose collections carry both financial and personal value. The company developed the coverage for people and businesses that own, display or collect artwork.
Art is becoming a bigger part of how people and businesses build their spaces and express themselves, but insuring it can be complicated. We wanted to make it easier to protect the art people own, display, and collect.

Fine Arts Coverage forms part of Corgi’s broader insurance offering for individuals and businesses. The company uses proprietary underwriting technology alongside in-house claims handling as it develops insurance products around the needs of its customers.
In July, Corgi launched an Artist Residency Program for artists, illustrators, writers, photographers, filmmakers and other creators working around technology and culture, according to Beinsure. The program will run from Corgi Cafe, the company’s 24/7 community space in San Francisco.
The cafe was built for founders, engineers, investors and operators, and it has already become a regular venue for hackathons, demo days, founder dinners, product launches and late-night build sessions.
Corgi Insurance calls itself the first AI-native insurance company. The business combines insurance experience with an AI-driven operating model and has raised $374 mn since launch, most recently at a $2.6 bn valuation.
With the residency, Corgi is widening the cafe’s role beyond startup activity. The company wants to bring in creators who are documenting, interpreting and shaping how technology moves into culture.
In May, Corgi raised $160 mn in Series B funding at a $1.3 bn valuation. TCV led the round, which follows Corgi’s $108 mn Series A announced 16 weeks earlier. Total funding now exceeds $268 mn.
The new round was led by TCV and brings Corgi’s total funding to more than $268 mn. The company said the capital will support expansion into trucking, payroll, small business, and other insurance verticals where legacy systems still dominate daily operations.
Corgi, founded by Emily Yuan and Nico Laqua, is building AI-driven insurance infrastructure for underwriting, claims, policy administration, and related back-office workflows.
The company wants to replace fragmented systems that split work across carriers, MGAs, reinsurers, brokers, and third-party administrators.
That fragmentation slows decisions, adds cost, and leaves too much manual work in the system. Corgi’s platform aims to consolidate those workflows into one operating model, using automation and AI to speed onboarding, policy management, underwriting, and claims handling.
