What Is Corgi Insurance?

Corgi Insurance sells commercial coverage to technology startups through stage-based packages (pre-seed and seed, Series A, and growth stage) that combine general liability, directors and officers, technology E&O, cyber, and related lines, alongside a growing small-business product line for other industries. Coverage may be issued by Corgi’s own risk retention group, an affiliated admitted carrier, or a partner insurer, so the issuing entity and available protections depend on the specific product and state. 6,7,8,9,10

Key Differences in Tech E&O Insurance

Contract and IP in the Base Form

The coverage gap that changes a quote is whether contract and intellectual-property claims sit in the base wording. CFC describes legal liability for breach of client contracts and for IP infringement such as copyright and trademark disputes as part of the Technology package. Corgi’s standard policy excludes claims arising solely from breach of contract or SLA failure and from intellectual property infringement, then sells endorsements that can add a contract/SLA carveback and copyright and trademark cover.

The standard policy excludes claims arising solely from breach of contract or SLA failure, intellectual property infringement, data breach liability, and AI-related claims; add-on endorsements can extend coverage to AI/algorithmic liability, copyright and trademark infringement, a contract/SLA carveback, and subcontracted technology services. 11Company-reported. Tech E&O policy notes and Available Add-ons section; endorsement availability varies by jurisdiction and underwriting.

Who Issues the Policy and How You Buy

Corgi says Tech E&O is primarily underwritten by Technology Risk Retention Group, with an option for admitted, AM Best–rated partner paper when you need it. CFC’s Technology application names CFC Underwriting Limited as the party administering the form and does not name the US issuing insurer. Corgi quotes Tech E&O online as an instant-quote line and also puts it in every startup package; CFC’s US application is returned to your insurance broker. 11 7 5

Limits and Extra Services

CFC publishes a $10,000,000 maximum E&O/media/cyber limit and a $0 minimum deductible, and describes incident-response service plus a free monitoring app. Corgi shows illustrative limits of $1 million per claim and $2 million aggregate with a $10,000 retention, and its Tech E&O page does not describe comparable risk-management services. 3 11

What to Confirm in Tech E&O Insurance Quotes

  • Ask Corgi which endorsements are on the form, especially contract/SLA, IP and AI liability. 11
  • Get the issuing paper for both: Corgi’s TRRG versus partner carriers, and CFC’s unnamed US capacity. 11 5
  • Compare Corgi’s illustrative $1 million / $2 million limits and $10,000 retention with CFC’s $10 million published maximum. 11 3
  • Confirm whether Corgi’s defense costs sit inside the limit, as its illustration states. 11

CFC vs Corgi Tech E&O Insurance: documented features by provider

CriteriaCFC Technology Errors & OmissionsCorgi Tech E&O
Role in This Line

CFC's Technology product is a single package policy for technology companies that bundles errors & omissions liability, breach-of-contract cover, IP infringement and media liability, and cyber cover. 2,3Company-reported. Technology product page and US product brochure; the policy as issued controls the exact scope for any one customer.

Corgi sells Tech E&O as a standalone instant-quote policy and bundles it into every startup package, starting with the pre-seed and seed tier. 11,7Company-reported. Tech E&O product page and homepage package contents; package composition may change.

Issuing Insurer

The Technology application form names only CFC Underwriting Limited, a UK entity authorized and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, as the party administering the form. Neither the Technology product page nor the application discloses which specific insurer or Lloyd's syndicate capacity backs a given US Technology policy. 5,4Not publicly disclosed. Technology application footer and the regulatory information page, both checked on 2026-09-23; CFC's US arm, CFC USA Inc., separately holds admitted producer licenses and E&S authorization in NY, TX, GA and CA, but that page does not tie a specific license to the Technology product.

Corgi says Tech E&O is primarily underwritten by Technology Risk Retention Group (TRRG), an unrated risk retention group; buyers who need admitted, AM Best-rated paper can instead be placed with affiliated partner carriers rated A- or better, subject to eligibility. 11Company-reported. Tech E&O FAQ on carrier rating; the actual issuing carrier for a given policy appears on the declarations page, not this page.

Who It’s For

CFC says the Technology product is suitable for start-ups, mid-size and multinational tech companies, without publishing a specific revenue or headcount cutoff on the product page. 2Company-reported. Technology product page introduction; actual eligibility for a given applicant depends on underwriting review of the application.

Not described in the reviewed sources.

Coverage Features

CFC describes coverage for financial loss, bodily injury or property damage arising from a technology company's products and services, plus legal liability for breach of client contracts and IP infringement claims such as copyright and trademark disputes. 3Company-reported. Product brochure feature descriptions; exclusions and conditions are set by the policy wording, which was not reviewed.

The cyber portion of the policy includes network and privacy liability, business interruption, data rectification and recreation costs, extortion cover, and social engineering coverage, sitting inside the same Technology package rather than as a separate purchase. 3Company-reported. Product brochure 'Comprehensive cyber cover' section.

The policy responds to claims-made "wrongful acts": negligent errors in technology services (e.g., a bad calculation costing a client money), negligent acts such as an outage from a code update, and negligent systems integration or data migration work. 11Company-reported. Illustrative scenario notes on the Tech E&O product page; the issued policy and declarations control the actual trigger.

The standard policy excludes claims arising solely from breach of contract or SLA failure, intellectual property infringement, data breach liability, and AI-related claims; add-on endorsements can extend coverage to AI/algorithmic liability, copyright and trademark infringement, a contract/SLA carveback, and subcontracted technology services. 11Company-reported. Tech E&O policy notes and Available Add-ons section; endorsement availability varies by jurisdiction and underwriting.

Limits and Retentions

CFC publishes a maximum errors & omissions/media/cyber limit of $10,000,000 and a maximum commercial general liability limit of $6,000,000 for this product, with a minimum deductible of $0. 3Company-reported. Brochure 'Limits and deductibles' table; the limit and deductible on an individual policy's declarations control.

Corgi shows illustrative Tech E&O limits of up to $1 million per claim and $2 million aggregate, with a $10,000 self-insured retention per claim, and describes defense costs as included within the limit. 11Company-reported. Illustrative policy structure on the product page; actual limits and retentions appear on the declarations.

Risk Services

Policyholders get access to CFC's incident response service at a $0 deductible, sitting on a limit separate from the main policy limit, plus a free app with dark web monitoring, phishing simulations and network deep scanning. 3Company-reported. Brochure 'Market leading cyber incident response' and 'Response app highlights' sections; CFC calls its incident response team one of the largest in-house teams in the industry, a characterization not independently verified here.

The reviewed Tech E&O page does not describe risk-management or loss-prevention services for policyholders beyond the glossary and FAQ content. 11Not found in reviewed sources. Tech E&O product page as read on 2026-09-23.

How to Apply

The US Technology application asks for company revenue by year, funding-round history, subcontractor and hosting arrangements, and whether multi-factor authentication is enforced for remote network access and email; it is returned to your insurance broker. 5,2Company-reported. Application form Sections 1, 2 and 4; CFC also lists Connect and named API partners as digital trading channels on the product page, which may bypass a paper application for some brokers.

Tech & AI Liability is one of the homepage's "Instant quote" policies, meaning it can be quoted and bound online without the 1-14 day turnaround Corgi assigns to its specialty coverages. 7Company-reported. Homepage policy-card labeling as of 2026-09-23.
