The Engine Room for Insurance Innovation
Moonshot Foundry is a venture-backed platform that incubates, funds, and scales insurance programs. We combine the infrastructure of a carrier, the speed of a startup studio, and the capital efficiency of private equity.
Our Vision
Insurance entrepreneurship is broken. Launching an MGA, captive, or specialty program traditionally requires years of work, millions in technology investment, and complex regulatory navigation — before writing a single dollar of premium.
Moonshot Foundry eliminates these barriers. We provide everything needed to go from idea to market in weeks: national licensing, proven technology, payment infrastructure, capital access, and expert guidance from seasoned insurance veterans.
Think of us as Y Combinator meets Lloyd's of London — a platform where insurance expertise meets venture capital execution.
What We Provide
Every venture that launches through Moonshot gains access to our full-stack ecosystem.
Day 1 Licensing
Immediate underwriting authority through BindDesk, our nationally licensed MGA with 50-state authority and 16+ carrier relationships.
Battle-Tested Technology
RaterSpot's policy platform powers rating, binding, and policy management. Over $100M in premiums processed.
Payment & Finance Systems
PolicyPay handles billing, collections, installment plans, and premium financing — generating margin from day one.
Capital Access
Structured funding pathways for product launches, marketing, and scale. From seed investments to program rollouts.
Expert Sherpas
Experienced insurance professionals who guide entrepreneurs through our methodology. They don't just advise — they earn equity and succeed when you succeed.
How We're Different
Most InsurTech platforms offer tools. We offer outcomes.
Infrastructure + Execution
We don't just power MGAs, we build and fund them. Every program we launch is one we helped create.
Full Stack by Design
Tech, capital, payments, compliance, and licensing in one unified ecosystem. No vendor sprawl. No integration headaches.
Proven Team
Our operators and advisors have collectively launched over $100M in insurance programs. This isn't theory — it's experience.
Scalable, Repeatable Model
Every program we build creates demand for more. New ventures drive tech usage, distribution partnerships, and referral networks. Growth compounds.

Our Investment Thesis
The insurance industry is ripe for disruption by founders who understand specific risks better than generalist underwriters. But traditional paths to market are prohibitively slow and expensive.
Moonshot solves this by providing the infrastructure layer that enables specialists to become operators. We target highly focused niches — tattoo regret, cyber for law firms, security deposit replacement, cannabis risk — where domain expertise creates sustainable competitive advantage.
We make money when our founders make money.
Our revenue model captures value across every layer: technology fees, MGA commissions, payment processing, premium financing, and equity participation. A single successful program generates 6-10 revenue streams.
Investment Access
We offer flexible capital deployment options designed for both institutional and alternative investors.
Thematic Pools
Focused investment vehicles around specific verticals like cyber, cannabis, commercial auto, or embedded insurance.
Multi-JV Fund
Diversified exposure to our full pipeline of incubated ventures, powered by shared infrastructure.
Direct Participation
Equity partnerships, LP stakes, or token-based investment in individual programs.
