History and Founding

DOXA Insurance Holdings was founded by Matt Sackett and Tim Wiggins roughly between 2016 and 2017, based on company materials noting "in less than a decade" as of 2025. The founders aimed to create a platform that solves a common industry dilemma: MGAs and MGUs often face a trade-off between staying independent but resource-constrained versus joining a large organization and losing autonomy. DOXA provides capital, carrier access, licensing, compliance, technology, marketing, and finance support, allowing program managers to grow faster—on average 70% in the first three years according to company data.

Business Model

DOXA operates as a platform aggregator for specialty insurance program managers. It is not an insurance carrier itself but a holding company and operational partner. The company generates revenue through partnerships with MGAs/MGUs, providing infrastructure in exchange for a share of the economics. Its value proposition extends to agents and brokers, who gain a single access point to multiple specialty markets, and to carriers, who benefit from disciplined, accountable underwriting channels. The platform emphasizes preserving the culture of acquired businesses, differentiating it from traditional roll-ups.

Products and Brands

The core offering is the DOXA Platform, which delivers capital, carrier relationships, licensing, compliance, technology, marketing, and finance support. Through acquisitions, DOXA has added specialized brands: the International Hole In One Association (IHIOA), acquired in 2024, provides hole-in-one and promotional contest insurance; and the Eaton Gate Group, a UK-based specialty insurance group signed in 2026, expands DOXA’s international footprint. The company also hosts a portfolio of 30+ MGAs and MGUs, each retaining its own niche and culture.

Market Position and Competition

DOXA competes in the specialty insurance program ecosystem, which is valued at $112 billion globally as of 2025. Its platform model positions it against traditional MGA aggregators and consolidators. The company’s emphasis on operational agility and human integrity aims to attract top underwriting talent and maintain carrier confidence. Rapid growth and integration of multiple acquisitions, however, will test operational cohesion.

Recent Developments and Leadership

In February 2025, DOXA strengthened its executive team with five appointments, including Doron Hai as Chief Operating Officer. Other appointees included Matt Bishop, Cindy Bush, J. Ammon Smartt, and Amy Watts, though their specific titles were not detailed. In April 2026, the company announced the signing of the UK-based Eaton Gate Group, signaling international expansion. DOXA also continues to launch new MGA programs with experienced underwriters, leveraging a proven onboarding process. The company is headquartered in Fort Wayne, Indiana, with a growing London presence via Eaton Gate.
