@erikalee @andruyeung @UseCorgi Erika what is the tie of the cafes to everything else you folks do? Is it just a quirky fun side quest or something else?

@andruyeung @UseCorgi you interested andrew? 😃

This might be the wildest job posting of 2026. A unicorn YC-backed AI insurance company @UseCorgi is hiring a Head of Cafe Expansion. Up to $220,000 base salary and $1M in equity. The mandate: open 3+ cafes globally. That's insane. But I love it.

@CedarStResearch @ryring They’re getting into WHAT 😳 This company is an enigma

@doyle2jj @ryring E&O can be a nasty claim when it hits best to have the right coverage. I have my doubts on Corgi. I love that they are going into trucking lol… couldn’t think of a worse line to march into.

Alright insurance folks, I am visiting the Corgi Insurance cafe in San Francisco. Check out the thread. Have fun banter, hate speech, healthy debate, whatever it’s X

@CedarStResearch @ryring Speaking anecdotally - I just acquired a policy for a startup of mine and Vouch is so much more impressive (and built a more comprehensive/cost effective program) for their target class.

@ryring @doyle2jj This company knows how to spend money like water

@ryanspalding URA in shambles

Real talk, never met anyone from Cleveland that I actually liked or thought highly of.

@TyRobben …that insurance transaction systems WHAT though? 🧐

Sounds right

@noahkagan Was declined by Twilio about 12 times over a month. Was approved by TelNyx (with same submission) in 2 days

Twilio sucks so hard. Has anyone actually set it up? Maybe I'm stupid - but 2 months of back and forth and still not able to have my account activated.

@TyRobben Can you DMM me on this? Am launching something soon and based on your posts would love to get an underwriter’s perspective. Problem is I can’t find out how to message you! Thanks

@ryanspalding As long as you don’t end up sitting here at the end of it all 🥵

Even if your team isnt there, the Final Four is a wonderful experience to take in. Tons of energy in the city during the whole event.

@saleskhalifa @drcarot The 2 Cs: Curiosity and Charisma

@drcarot Yes it’s art and science, hard to replicate Me and my old vp had a joke about this, you gotta find the “IT” factor What is the IT factor? You don’t know until you see it

Hiring salespeople is different from hiring anyone else.

@TheRiskResource I’d love for you to do a series of posts about what you do that seems to be ‘the sauce’ without giving it away fully. I’m fascinated by masterful casualty structuring as a producer. I want to learn what you do that others don’t if you’re ever willing to share

Just received word of a new huge logo. Pew pew

@JaredDHardin @shawngorham Great advice by Shawn. Hardest part starting out is understanding (and accepting) most of the outreach you do now will pay off in sometimes 6mos to 3yrs. Thats why scale is crucial. Try to end calls with “you cool if I check back around ______ to see if anything has changed?”

@shawngorham TBH I feel like I'm super good at doing this in person. I just haven't really done it over the phone.

@TheRiskResource Annnnnd there it is haha. Crazy man

@doyle2jj Their property was 30% rate reduction lol

Real estate deal? Hard market? No problem. Here’s a 4% rate increase. I’m bragging. We killed it.

@TheRiskResource Ahhh casualty ok that makes sense. Saw real estate and assumed property. Nice work!

@doyle2jj Casualty insurance for 100% hab business….. subsidized housing

@BrokerSteve412 Can’t make it too easy on the client, cmon now. Email is just a fad anyways 🤷‍♂️

Trying to get this deal across the finish line and needed the prospect get updated loss runs. She called Nationwide and they said they would HAVE to mail them out. Mail the loss runs…🤦🏻‍♂️ Does Nationwide also accept carrier pigeons for change requests like what is happening?

@TyRobben I’m genuinely curious - what specifically don’t you like about this path? I’m somewhat insulated from this in my role so I’d like to understand the concerns.

Starting to hear more and more talk about ai quoting platforms now Large majority sound like online quoters repurposed with ai branding but brokers are saying a lot of them have removed the underwriting staff behind them Interesting times. Have to say I think this use case for ai is going down the wrong path.

@TheRiskResource Favorite class of business and why

I work for a private brokerage startup after having worked at the ABC's of the world of insurance. Happy Friday, ask me anything in the comments..

@cantshutupsam Damn man this is bleak

“Why is my commercial auto insurance so expensive?” Meanwhile, the Tort Industry:

@molzer @tomhinestweets Great so basically the same thing

@doyle2jj @tomhinestweets convinced me to sell meth so that’s the plan

I have 500,000 followers across all platforms. Built in <12 months. I really don’t make any significant $ from this (even though I should) Best piece of advice to capitalize on this (without selling a course)? Let me know…
