Matt Sackett, CEO and founder of DOXA Insurance Holdings, said, "The investment from Goldman Sachs is a testament to the strong business and brand DOXA has created since inception.

We look forward to bringing our resources to DOXA’s existing platform and to help them capitalize on the significant macro trends that are driving the broader MGA sector.”
