Insurance technology startup Corgi is reportedly in the process of raising another funding round, which would value the company at $4 billion. This alleged new round, a B2 extension of its Series B, follows closely on the heels of its previous B1 round announced just eight weeks ago.

Corgi utilizes AI to provide quick insurance quotes and expedite claims payments, offering various liability insurances to startups. The company also operates data room software and runs two coffee shops in San Francisco and Atlanta, with plans to expand its cafe locations. Its insurance structure, a Risk Retention Group (RRG), allows industry peers to self-insure collectively, bypassing some traditional state regulations but also meaning members bear losses if the pool cannot cover claims.

Sources indicate Corgi's revenue trajectory is the primary driver for its escalating valuation. The company reported an annualized revenue run rate of $40 million seven months ago and is now projected to reach $450 million by the end of the year. Corgi is backed by investors including TCV and Kindred Ventures.
