- Corgi
Participated · Series B · May 2026
Corgi is an AI-native, full-stack insurance carrier founded by Emily Yuan and Nico Laqua and headquartered in San Francisco. As a licensed carrier, it designs and manages insurance end-to-end and uses AI to power underwriting, policy management, and claims operations. The company launched its platform after receiving regulatory approval in July 2025 and initially focused on property-management insurance for startups. Corgi plans to expand its product suite into new verticals including trucking, payroll, and small-business insurance while broadening coverage and distribution. Financially, Corgi has raised over $268 million to date, including a $160 million Series B at a $1.3 billion valuation. The company is investing the new capital in AI systems, faster quoting, adaptive risk models, and operational scaling to support its growth plans.
- Modelence
Participated · Seed · Jan 2026
Modelence is a California-based startup that tackles the persistent pain points of hosting, security and DevOps that remain even as large language models accelerate coding. Its core product is an all-in-one framework that runs on Typescript and packages critical services—authentication, database management, hosting, LLM observability tools and a built-in app builder—so developers don’t have to stitch together multiple cloud vendors. By focusing on the connections between these services, the company aims to reduce the brittleness that arises when developers mix and match providers like Vercel and Supabase. Modelence graduated from Y Combinator’s most recent summer batch and positions itself against both hyperscalers such as Google and Amazon and newer startups like Shuttle. The startup believes its integrated approach will attract a new wave of AI-empowered, non-expert developers looking for a smoother build-to-deploy workflow. Financially, the company has secured $3 million in seed capital, providing runway to refine the platform and scale user acquisition efforts.
