Corgi vs StartupInsurance.ai Fiduciary Liability Insurance

Corgi’s form excludes DOL investigations; StartupInsurance.ai places fiduciary online and checks existing policies for blanket AI exclusions.

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. 1,2,3,4,5

Key Differences in Fiduciary Liability Insurance

Two Online Startup Paths

Both Corgi and StartupInsurance.ai let you request fiduciary through a web flow. Corgi uses a dedicated fiduciary quote; StartupInsurance.ai includes Fiduciary as one of seven coverage boxes on its quote-intake screen, described as covering claims related to employee benefit plan management. 6 8

Form Detail Versus AI-Exclusion Watch

Corgi publishes CORG-FL-0100 terms: claims-made ERISA cover, settlor/ESOP/multi-employer exclusions, and uncovered DOL, IRS, and HHS inquiries. StartupInsurance.ai says one major carrier added a blanket AI exclusion to fiduciary forms, typically at renewal inside an endorsement, and that it checks policies for this exclusion. 6 9

Package Gates Versus Program List

Corgi lists fiduciary only in Growth Stage and Custom packages. StartupInsurance.ai names fiduciary among the lines its startup program places, alongside GL, D&O, tech E&O, cyber, EPL, and crime, without a documented later-stage gate. 2 9

Extra Service

Corgi’s page does not describe a policy-wording review beyond optional endorsements. StartupInsurance.ai’s free policy check reviews an existing program for AI exclusions within 48 hours and specifically calls out fiduciary as one of the affected forms. 6 9

What to Confirm in Fiduciary Liability Insurance Quotes

  • Ask StartupInsurance.ai whether the placed fiduciary form carries a blanket AI exclusion. 9
  • Ask Corgi whether investigation-cost or AI-related endorsements exist on CORG-FL-0100. 6
  • Compare Corgi’s illustrative $1 million / $2 million limits with whatever StartupInsurance.ai’s unnamed carrier quotes. 6 9
  • If you already have a fiduciary policy, ask StartupInsurance.ai what the 48-hour check would return. 9

Role in This Line

StartupInsurance.ai names fiduciary liability as one of the lines its startup program places, alongside general liability, D&O, tech E&O, cyber, employment practices and crime. 9Company-reported. Homepage "Coverage: What we place" list as read on 2026-09-23.

Issuing Insurer

Corgi's fiduciary product page does not name the issuing insurer. Corgi's disclaimers page says coverage on the platform is underwritten by carrier affiliates or third-party partners depending on the product, jurisdiction and risk, and that the specific carrier appears in the issued policy documents. 6,1Company-reported. Fiduciary product page and general Corgi underwriting disclosure; not specific confirmation of which entity underwrites fiduciary policies.

The reviewed pages do not name an insurer for fiduciary liability specifically; the homepage's carrier panel is program-wide and not broken out by coverage line. 9Not publicly disclosed. Homepage carrier panel as read on 2026-09-23.

Coverage Features

The standard policy (CORG-FL-0100) is claims-made and covers ERISA breach-of-fiduciary-duty claims such as excessive-fee litigation, plan administration errors and late deposit of employee contributions, but excludes settlor acts (plan design, amendment or termination decisions), ESOPs and multi-employer plans from the standard form. 6Company-reported. Fiduciary coverage table and scenario/policy notes; illustrative summary, not policy wording.

Corgi says DOL investigations, IRS audits and HHS inquiries are not covered "Claims" under the standard fiduciary policy; only a resulting participant lawsuit is a covered claim, and investigation costs themselves are not covered. 6Company-reported. Fiduciary scenario note 3.

StartupInsurance.ai says one major carrier added a blanket AI exclusion to fiduciary forms (along with D&O and E&O), typically arriving at renewal inside an endorsement, and that it checks policies for this exclusion. 9Company-reported. Homepage "wording that still says yes" section; names the exclusion trend industrywide but not the carrier, and does not state whether any StartupInsurance.ai-placed fiduciary policy carries this specific endorsement.

Limits and Retentions

Corgi shows illustrative fiduciary limits of up to $1 million per claim and $2 million aggregate, with defense costs inside the limit and a $25,000 per-claim self-insured retention. 6Company-reported. Fiduciary coverage table, described as illustrative.

Not described in the reviewed sources.

Risk Services

The reviewed fiduciary page does not describe plan-compliance reviews or fiduciary-training services for policyholders beyond the optional HIPAA, ERISA civil-penalty and voluntary-compliance endorsements. 6Not found in reviewed sources. Fiduciary product page as read on 2026-09-23.

StartupInsurance.ai's free policy check reviews an existing program for AI exclusions within 48 hours, and the homepage specifically calls out fiduciary as one of the forms affected by the AI-exclusion trend it checks for. 9Company-reported. Homepage service description; a marketing offer describing what the review covers, not a report on any specific customer's fiduciary policy.

How to Apply

You request a Fiduciary quote through Corgi's online "Get a Fiduciary quote" flow, the same self-serve path Corgi uses for its other startup lines. 6Company-reported. Fiduciary product page call to action.

"Fiduciary" is one of seven coverage boxes on StartupInsurance.ai's online quote-intake screen, described there as covering "claims related to employee benefit plan management." 8Company-reported. Initial coverage-selection screen of the quote application; does not show the underwriting questions that follow for this line.
