Kalepa’s Underwriting AI Platform Selected by Beyond Risk to Drive Scalable MGA Growth

Kalepa, the leader in underwriting AI for commercial and specialty insurance, today announced that Beyond Risk has selected its platform to transform underwriting operations for its affiliate companies.

Beyond Risk’s affiliate companies will leverage Kalepa’s platform to modernize underwriting workflows, accelerate profitable growth, and enhance the rating experience – all without increasing headcount.

By supporting the entire end-to-end underwriting process, Kalepa’s platform automates manual review, strengthens decision-making and drives efficiency, accuracy, and consistency insurers need to grow profitably.

“At Beyond Risk, we’re focused on building MGAs that lead the market in growth and performance,” said Blake Wakefield, CEO of Beyond Risk. “Kalepa’s platform gives us the intelligence and agility to grow faster and stay ahead in a competitive marketplace.”

"Partnering with Kalepa represents a significant step forward in our mission to build a more scalable, data-driven underwriting engine," said Joe Foley, COO of Beyond Risk "As we expand our programs and submission volumes grow, we needed a solution that could eliminate manual bottlenecks while enhancing underwriting efficiency and discipline.”
