"Pursue the most ambitious version of whatever the idea is."That's the principle Nico and Emily, co-founders of Corgi, built their company around — and Silicon Valley just bet $108M Series A on it.Two outsiders to insurance who didn't try to modernize legacy carriers. They rebuilt a trillion-dollar industry from the ground up — questioning every default that insiders had stopped questioning decades ago. 2 years of regulatory war. $100M+ in capital. Default dead, many times. But still, they kept going.That fresh perspective and relentless execution are why Corgi is now one of the fastest growing B2B companies on the planet, projected to hit several hundred million in ARR this year.00:00 Intro00:51 Pursue the Most Ambitious Version of Your Goal02:58 Walking Away From a Working Company03:30 Why Bigger Ideas Win04:52 How Two Outsiders Broke Into a Legacy Industry07:40 A Multi-Trillion-Dollar Industry Still Runs on Faxes08:30 The Decision to Shut the Working Business Down09:27 The Harder It Is, The Deeper Your Moat10:40 Time and Energy Beat Money12:11 When the Bet Started Paying Off🔗 Read the full transcription of Corgi’s interview: https://www.eomag.io/article/corgi-nico-emily?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=descriptionEO stands for Entrepreneur& Opportunities.
