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

The AI insurance company Corgi said it did not create the little red book. Former employees and an investor saw it at the office. BI Business Insider got a look at a book that purports to outline Corgi's mission. "Boomers are slow and bad," it says at one point. Corgi says an investor created the "unapproved" book. When investor Alex Ren visited the office of AI insurance upstart Corgi early last year, he was given a copy of a little red book emblazoned with a portrait of the company's namesake dog wearing a Mao-like red hat with a yellow star. It was called: "The Mission at Corgi." Business Insider viewed images of a book with the same name and cover. Inside, it contained a series of statements — some braggy, some bellicose, all of them blunt. "Boomers are slow and bad," the 17-page hardcover declares in reference to hiring.
