Brief

swyx reports shopping insurers for the New Media Lab and finds Corgi’s “insanely high” NPS and near-100% greenfield adoption, with a broker advising to just use Corgi. Nico Laqua frames the Corgi cafe as a network-effect hub where multiple billion-dollar startups are born monthly and founders meet VCs, get YC admits, find cofounders, and secure jobs.

btw i've been shopping around for insurers for the New Media Lab we are setting up (basically the creative playground housing swyx inc) and yeah the NPS of Corgi is insanely high

my real estate broker: "just go with corgi they are covering every single one of my clients rn"

breaking through with ~100% greenfield market share like this is unheard of in the insurance industry

The point of the corgi cafe isn’t the interior design, although that’s something we’re improving (and there’s a lot more coming soon with the cafe). The point of the corgi cafe is it’s the only place where I am 100% certain that there are billion dollar companies being founded, probably several per month. So many people have told me they met a vc who gave them a term sheet in the cafe, or applied to yc and got in there, or met their cofounder, or got their dream job, etc. Critiquing the aesthetics is missing the point, it’s like me saying youtube isn’t good because the like button design isn’t very pretty. The corgi cafe is a network effect product.
