San Francisco – September 15, 2026 -- Fast Company has named Corgi Insurance to its Best Workplaces for Innovators in North America 2026 list, citing the AI-native insurance carrier's embedded culture of technology and rapid experimentation.
Corgi operates as a full-stack, AI-native insurance carrier across the underwriting lifecycle
The company uses automation throughout claims, underwriting, trucking and other emerging lines of business, while expanding into new product categories built for modern commercial clients.
Corgi built custom AI tooling and hundreds of internal automation skills for employees
The company has developed proprietary agent clusters and custom tools that let staff automate workflows across departments, reducing manual steps in core insurance operations.
Corgi extends its brand into physical spaces with buses, cafes and a company newspaper
The company runs its own branded buses and a growing network of Corgi Cafes that double as workplaces and community hubs, alongside branded drinks and an internal publication called Corgi Times.
Fast Company editors scored applicants before a judging panel selected final honorees
Fast Company editor-in-chief Brendan Vaughan said the year's honorees create conditions that empower employees to think differently and turn ideas into action, rather than merely asking for innovation.
