Alex Maffeo is the Founder and CEO of Boost, the leading infrastructure-as-a-service platform that powers white-labeled digital insurance programs for high-growth startups and innovative enterprises. Under Alex’s leadership, Boost has redefined what it means to be a modern managing general agency (MGA), combining ‘A’-rated paper, dedicated risk capacity, claims administration, and an API-driven policy administration system into one seamless, turnkey platform.
Prior to founding Boost in 2017, Alex spent nearly a decade at IA Capital Group, a New York-based venture capital firm focused on fintech and InsurTech. As Principal, he led and supported investments in early-stage technology companies across financial services and insurance, gaining a deep understanding of the opportunities and inefficiencies in the industry. His board roles at companies like Snapsheet, Financeit, and SMArtX Advisory Solutions provided critical exposure to digital transformation in claims, lending, and investment management.
Through Boost, Alex has helped remove the traditional barriers to launching insurance programs—enabling startups and tech companies to embed insurance products that are natively digital and fully customizable. His work sits at the forefront of embedded insurance, digital distribution, and the future of MGA infrastructure.
With a career bridging venture capital, insurance innovation, and startup operations, Alex Maffeo brings a sharp, well-rounded perspective on what it takes to modernize insurance for the digital age. Alex contributed to our 2022 Spring Conference, speaking on the “Embedding Insurance Closer to the Customer”, alongside fellow speakers Ryan Duques of Travelers, Rochelle Miller of Gallagher, and Alex Selarnick from Goodwin; moderated by Denise Campbell from Marsh.
