Amelia Risk vs Corgi

Amelia Risk presents itself as an independent, women-owned insurance brokerage—not as an insurer. It says it identifies a company’s risks, discusses insurance products, represents the buyer to insurers, and recommends a program. The official pages reviewed do not name a licensed producer entity suffix, license number, or NPN. ^1,2,4,20,19

Corgi Insurance Services, Inc. is the licensed agency that sells and administers Corgi policies. The insurer named in your policy provides the coverage. ^29,30,32

Amelia Risk says it is a women-owned and operated insurance brokerage in San Francisco whose team works with startups and high-growth companies. Its specialty pages address startups, better-for-you food, beverage and cosmetic (CPG) companies, technology businesses (including software, hardware, robotics, AI, autonomous-vehicle software, and life sciences), and consumer-product or accessible-luxury brands. A company-hosted podcast transcript describes a primary CPG focus and work with higher-risk product categories such as baby food, skincare, and dietary supplements. Public pages do not state minimum revenue, headcount, or funding-stage eligibility. ^{1,3,4,5,6,7,8,22}

Corgi offers business insurance for technology companies and startups, with packages for pre-seed and seed, Series A, and growth-stage businesses, plus a custom option. ^30,31,34,43

In August 2026, Corgi announced product filings for offices, retail, restaurants, personal services, self-storage, wholesalers, community associations, and small rental properties. Availability depends on the product and state. ³⁷

Amelia Risk publishes an Insurance Policies catalogue covering general liability and umbrella or excess, stock throughput (cargo), product recall, directors and officers (D&O), employment practices liability (EPL), workers compensation, cyber, and technology errors and omissions (Tech E&O). Specialty pages also list product liability, fiduciary liability, professional liability, a businessowner’s policy (BOP) with property, general liability, and hired and non-owned auto, owned and hired/non-owned auto, and employee crime as policies those clients should consider. Those labels are the firm’s marketed placement topics; they are not specimen forms, and they do not establish that every line is available to every applicant. ^{9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,5,6,7,8}

Corgi’s startup packages combine general liability, directors and officers, technology errors and omissions, cyber, media, employment practices, fiduciary, and hired and non-owned auto coverage. Its technology offering includes a Tech & AI Liability module. ^30,36,38

Corgi’s D&O page describes claims-made coverage for directors, officers, and the company under form CORG-DO-0100, issued by Technology Risk Retention Group. The example has defense costs within the policy limit and a $25,000 per-claim retention—the portion of a claim you pay. Your quote and policy set the actual terms. ³³

Risk retention groups can write business liability insurance for their members. They cannot provide other types of insurance, such as property coverage, so a package with those products needs another insurer. ^47,49

Amelia Risk says it represents clients to the dozens of insurance companies with which it works and that its vertical focus supports relationships with underwriters, wholesale brokers, and carrier partners. The reviewed pages do not name those insurers, rating agencies, or program administrators, and they do not publish appointment lists. ^4,2,21

Corgi uses affiliated and partner insurers. Your policy names the insurer and claims administrator for your coverage. ²⁹

Technology Risk Retention Group, Inc. appears in the NAIC company listing as Arizona-domiciled property and casualty company code 17763 (listed as TECHNOLOGY RRG INC). Corgi’s disclaimers call TRRG the group’s primary underwriting entity and a risk retention group organized under the Liability Risk Retention Act. The same Carrier Financial Strength paragraph describes TRRG as federally chartered and operating under federal prudential oversight; that wording is company language and is not adopted here as a legal conclusion. ^{45,29,31,30,46,47}

A risk retention group is a member-owned liability insurer licensed in its home state. Federal law lets it operate in other states through registration. Members must have similar or related business risks. ^46,47,49

For customers who need an admitted insurer, Corgi says it can use affiliated or partner carriers rated A- or better by AM Best. Options depend on the state, coverage, and business. Eligible admitted policies may have state guaranty-association protection, subject to that state’s limits. ^29,31,30,37

Corgi says Technology Risk Retention Group does not have an AM Best rating. A financial-strength rating and admitted status are separate things. ^29,33

Corgi Insurance Company’s August 2026 launch announcement did not give a financial-strength rating or a complete list of licensed states. Confirm both if they are requirements for your business. ^37,50

Policies issued by a risk retention group are not covered by state insurance guaranty funds. Corgi includes this notice for policies issued by Technology Risk Retention Group. ^48,30,29

Corgi says its insurers may share risk with reinsurers, while the insurer on your policy remains responsible for claims. Its public disclosures do not name the current reinsurers or their contract terms. ^29,42

New business starts with a conversation or website contact form, not a public self-service binder. Amelia Risk describes four steps: understand the company and gather information; represent the buyer to insurers; review quotes and a recommendation with the client; then the client decides how to proceed. About copy says the firm will not ask clients to complete multiple PDFs or Word documents only to print, sign, and scan them back. A company-hosted interview describes D&O underwriting as possibly a matter of days or a few weeks with completed information, with a two-to-three-week comfortable budget—an illustrative timing comment, not a binding SLA. No public quote calculator or specimen application was found. ^{4,18,2,5,20,22}

You can apply online or book a call with a Corgi specialist. Corgi says eligible applicants can get a quote in minutes and buy coverage the same day. Its disclosures describe both an issued-policy-and-payment condition and temporary coverage under a written binder. Confirm the applicable conditions and effective date in writing. ^30,29
