What Are the Key Differences Between Corgi and Embroker Tech E&O Insurance?

Instant Startup Quote vs Blended E&O and Cyber for Growing Firms

Corgi sells tech E&O as a standalone instant-quote policy and inside pre-seed and seed startup packages. Embroker sells tech E&O and cyber as one blended policy, directly online and through brokers on Embroker Access, to private for-profit tech companies, including fintech, AI, digital health, HR tech and SaaS, under $300 million in revenue. Choose Corgi if you are an early-stage startup that wants cover in minutes; choose Embroker if you need cyber on the same policy or limits above $1 million. [4] [3] [6] [5]

$1 Million Illustration vs Up to $5 Million With Sub-Limits

Corgi illustrates $1 million per claim and $2 million aggregate with a $10,000 retention. Embroker advertises up to $5 million for most insuring agreements, with sub-limits for reputational harm, telecom fraud, social engineering, funds transfer fraud and bricking; its excess layer can’t sit above its own primary. [4] [5] [6]

No Published Screens vs MFA and Industry Exclusions

Corgi publishes no revenue cap for tech E&O. Embroker requires multifactor authentication once you pass $5 million in revenue and excludes crypto, blockchain and cannabis businesses. If you are in one of those industries, Embroker is out. [4] [5]

What Should You Confirm in Corgi and Embroker Tech E&O Insurance Quotes?

  • Ask Corgi which company issues your policy. It primarily uses Technology Risk Retention Group, an insurer owned by its policyholders that isn’t backed by state guaranty funds, or an A- rated partner. Also ask which endorsements apply. [4]
  • Ask Embroker whether you are on the retail or Embroker Access form, and how each treats IP and software-code infringement; its pages conflict. [6] [5]
  • If you already have Embroker primary, you’ll need a different insurer for excess. [6]
