The mystery of a 'little red book' about insurance startup Corgi

The insurance company says it didn't make 'The Mission at Corgi.' An investor said he got a copy at Corgi's office.

Corgi, an AI-driven insurance startup, refuted ownership of a controversial "little red book" detailing the company's mission. Former employees and an investor claimed the book resided within Corgi's office. Business Insider was granted access to the book, which purportedly outlines the venture's objectives. The publication noted that the text was brash and unapologetic, declaring that "Boomers are slow and bad" and suggesting that the company would pursue insurance competitors aggressively.

Corgi denied involvement in the creation of the book, stating it was an external gift from an investor. The company asserted that the content depicted within was not reflective of its current position or views.
