Corgi vs StartupInsurance.ai General Liability Insurance

Corgi sells Commercial General Liability (CGL) as a standalone policy and includes it in every startup package tier it lists, from Pre-Seed & Seed through Series A, Growth Stage and the Custom Package. ^2,6Company-reported. Homepage package contents and the CGL product page.

StartupInsurance.ai lists general liability among the lines its startup program places. The brokerage is ContractorNerd Insurance Services, LLC, which its own terms describe as an insurance agency/producer that arranges coverage and does not underwrite policies itself. ^9,10Company-reported. Homepage coverage list and ContractorNerd's terms and conditions; describes the brokerage's role generally and names general liability as one of the placed lines, not a specific policy's terms.

Corgi's CGL page states the policy is underwritten by Technology Risk Retention Group, Inc., a risk retention group, rather than one of Corgi's admitted carrier affiliates. ⁶Company-reported. CGL scenario note 1 and policy boundaries section.

StartupInsurance.ai's carrier panel names six insurers (The Hartford, Chubb, Coalition, Tokio Marine HCC, Travelers and CNA), with ratings shown for three of them, but the reviewed pages do not say which panel carrier issues a given company's general liability policy. ⁹Not publicly disclosed. Homepage carrier panel; the panel is program-wide and not broken out by coverage line, so the specific insurer for a general liability placement is not disclosed and varies by placement.

Not described in the reviewed sources.

StartupInsurance.ai frames its "what cleared means" pitch around certificates of insurance naming a customer or landlord as additional insured, primary and non-contributory, with a waiver of subrogation — requirements that typically apply to general liability policies. ⁹Company-reported. Homepage narrative section aimed at founders who need a certificate to satisfy a landlord or customer contract; does not state formal underwriting eligibility criteria (industry, revenue, headcount) for general liability.

The standard CGL form (CORG-CGL-0100) is occurrence-based and covers third-party bodily injury, property damage and a narrow list of personal-and-advertising-injury offenses, but excludes patent infringement, professional errors, cyber incidents, and damage to property in the policyholder's care, custody or control. ⁶Company-reported. CGL coverage table and scenario/policy notes; illustrative summary, not policy wording.

StartupInsurance.ai says that in January 2026 the standard general liability forms industry-wide picked up three new AI-related exclusions, and illustrates its policy-check service with an example flagging exclusion form CG 40 42. ⁹Company-reported. Homepage "Wording that still says yes" section; describes an industry-wide forms change the brokerage says it checks for, not the terms of any specific StartupInsurance.ai-placed policy.

Corgi shows illustrative CGL limits of up to $1 million per occurrence and $2 million general aggregate, a $100,000 damage-to-premises sublimit, $5,000 medical payments per person, and a $2,000 per-claim self-insured retention; actual amounts appear on the declarations page. ⁶Company-reported. CGL coverage table, described as illustrative and possibly differing from the issued policy.

The reviewed pages do not publish sample general liability limits, sublimits or retentions; StartupInsurance.ai's public marketing pages do not show program-level numbers for this line. ^9,8Not found in reviewed sources. Homepage and quote-intake screen as read on 2026-09-23; limits would only surface on an actual quote.

The reviewed CGL page does not describe risk-control, premises-safety or loss-prevention services for policyholders beyond the coverage itself. ⁶Not found in reviewed sources. CGL product page as read on 2026-09-23.

StartupInsurance.ai offers a free policy check: send in your current policies and a customer contract, and within 48 hours you get a one-page summary of AI exclusions in your program and where your contract asks for something the policy doesn't give. ⁹Company-reported. Homepage service description; a marketing offer, not a guarantee of findings for any particular general liability policy.

You can request a CGL quote through Corgi's online instant-quote flow, and Corgi says eligible applicants can complete the application and bind the same day rather than going through a multi-week broker-review cycle. ^6,2Company-reported. CGL page call to action and homepage self-serve description.

General Liability (GL) is one of seven coverage boxes on StartupInsurance.ai's online quote-intake screen, described there as covering "bodily injury, property damage, and advertising injury." ⁸Company-reported. Initial coverage-selection screen of the quote application; does not show what follow-up underwriting questions or documentation the flow requires.

Corgi says the CGL insurer has a duty to defend covered claims, meaning it appoints and pays for defense counsel on the policyholder's behalf, subject to the applicable retention. ⁶Company-reported. CGL scenario note 1, illustrated through a bodily-injury example; distinct from D&O's duty-to-reimburse structure noted on the same page.
