CXA Founder Rosaline Chow Koo Builds Insurtech Legacy Amid Startup Challenges
Rosaline Chow Koo founded CXA in Singapore in 2013 after years in traditional insurance brokerage.
She invested her own savings to create a digital platform for employee benefits and wellness.
CXA aimed to modernize corporate health insurance across Asia with personalized options.
Early Growth and Industry Shift

Employees gain from wellness programs that can improve daily health outcomes.
The story highlights risks in scaling insurtech ventures in competitive markets.
Future platforms may build on these ideas to offer even more accessible coverage.
