Nico Laqua
Nico Laqua is the co-founder and CEO of Corgi Insurance, an AI-native, full-stack insurance carrier for startups that was part of Y Combinator's Summer 2024 batch. He is known for leading a company culture that involves seven-day workweeks and for personally sleeping in the office on a mattress. Under his leadership, Corgi has raised over $100 million and reached a $2.6 billion valuation. He co-founded the company with Emily Yuan, who serves as COO.
“He's celebrated a seven-days-a-week office culture and said he'd rather die at 50 than live until 80 if it ensured Corgi became a $1 trillion company.”
