Corgi Insurance, the AI-native insurance company, has unveiled Golden by Corgi, a new vertical dedicated to sports and entertainment, aimed at serving leagues, federations, clubs, events and venues worldwide.
The launch targets a global sports sector that generates upwards of $600bn in economic activity, where insurance underpins the operations of every team, tournament and governing body.
Golden will be headed by Peter Akman and Mike T. Brown, both of whom previously founded companies and competed as professional athletes, giving the pair first-hand knowledge of how the sports world operates alongside entrepreneurial experience.
The company argues that sports bodies have long been stuck with disjointed coverage arrangements scattered among various brokers, carriers and administrators, which layer on fees while offering minimal accountability.
Golden intends to consolidate this into a single programme. Running on Corgi’s full-stack platform, the offering includes bespoke insurance programmes, certificates of insurance delivered within minutes, claims managed in-house, embedded risk support, and prevention initiatives designed for sports organisations.
It is already partnering with national governing bodies and Olympic programmes, including USA Fencing.
Golden operates as Corgi’s dedicated sports insurance platform in the United States, delivering commercial insurance to sports organisations of every size. It provides over twenty coverage lines built around the distinct risks confronting teams, leagues, tournaments and facilities.
Golden co-founder Peter Akman said, “Sports organizations operate in a highly specialized environment with risks that traditional commercial insurance products often fail to address. Golden was built specifically for this industry, providing organizations with a partner that understands the business of sports.”
Golden co-founder Mike Brown said, “Sports organizations deserve an insurance experience that moves as quickly as they do. We’re combining Corgi’s carrier strength with deep sports expertise to create an entirely new standard for sports insurance.”
