Billion dollar startup with a dog cafe

Transcript

One of the fastest growing startup in the world right now is named after a dog, and here's why you need to know about it before everyone else does. In January of this year, Corgi was already worth $630 Million, huge. But by the start of May, it reached unicorn status at $1.3 Billion, which is already huge. But by the end of May, it doubled in three weeks. Corgi is an AI insurance startup which began two years ago is run completely by people in their 20s and is already in competition with some of the biggest players out there like Hiscox and Fox Insurance. And one of my favorite parts about this branch, Corgi is that each branch is named after a different breed of dog. Golden is their sports branch, Beagle is their property branch, and I'm pretty sure Dane is their transport. And when you have names like these, you don't even need a CMO because the marketing kind of does the work itself. But on the point of marketing, I think one of the smartest moves they made was actually to have a cafe. Now, you don't usually think insurance startup, yeah, cafe, but one of the founders was getting really mad that in San Francisco, all cafes would shut at like 6 PM, even though people there work much of the day. So Corgi went against all of their investors and they started a cafe that's open 24/7. This morning, I met with their head of property and they're expanding so fast that they're going to start a cafe in London. Since they have such a great mix of amazing marketing, young energy, their problem, is household business.
