Y Combinator Blog · rss · 2026-10-20
The YC Blog tells how Ryder Kemper became employee #7 at Corgi Insurance (YC S24): a 30-minute Friday interview, a Sunday flight to SF for a work trial, and he never left.
- Corgi rebuilds core insurance infrastructure — policy administration, claims — owning the stack end to end
- Kemper touches nearly everything: claims systems, new insurance lines, engineer hiring

- He estimates two years packed in ten years of experience and plans to found his own company; Corgi is hiring
