@UseCorgi Hi brycent would love to invite you in my podcast in sf. o/w any other place to meet up!

@UseCorgi Feels authentic.

What's your honest take? Ponzi scheme or naw? From the outside, my co-founder and I were wondering why startups would even bother with buying insurance. Especially in the Seed or Pre-seed stages. For B2C, if you company flops, usually software isn't gonna be a liability enough for you to get sued. For B2B, I guess if you delete enterprise data or something like that, you could be screwed. But isn't that usually the kiss of death on a young startup anyways? What's the point of buying insurance on a business that's going down to 0 anyways, and you won't be able to payout to the suers in the end, regardless.

Corgi isn't a scam, the thing is for some industries, you can't even close the contract with certain businesses without having business insurance, like it's required. Corgi also has a very robust and high performing residential insurance arm that is doing quite well. Insurance isn't going anywhere, whether or not you need it depends on your business but at some point every business should have some protection.

@UseCorgi aww, so the value is in the stamp of approval for B2B sales. Like SOC2 compliance? What advantage do you see them having over traditional insurance providers in residential insurance? For the end client, isn't it a commodity. Are they able to offer a lower price somehow?

speed is the only real advantage, if they can get a customer a quote in seconds vs trad insurance which takes days or weeks, theres a huge market for what they do im guessing that not in all cases will their price be lower, but its very case dependent i want to see someone do this for private health insurance

I recently move to New Jersey from San Francisco, and since I'm working on @usefesta full-time, I had to buy health insurance via the ObamaCare marketplace (covered NJ). After submitting my info, they were able to give me a quote within 2 minutes. The hard part is dealing with edge cases like when you have non-traditional income, or disjointed work history. After getting the quote, they flagged my app as odd because of my income disparities, so I had to talk to an actual Customer support Agent in the end. I'm not sure how AI can necessarily help in that case tho. Thanks for the discussion btw.

@UseCorgi @usefesta we will chat in the dms at some point soon, would love to learn more!

@UseCorgi @usefesta haha, just shoot me a message anytime

@UseCorgi Love the content and positivity in this. Awesome to see.

@UseCorgi I thought corgis were good at sniffing out real value not fake million dollar startups

@UseCorgi I just visited Corgi last Friday around 11pm after grabbing drinks at the Irish Bank. it was completely packed.
