Yishai Cohen
Yishai Cohen is the co-founder and CEO of Landa, a New York fintech that tried to turn houses into stocks - letting anyone buy a share of a rental home for as little as $5. A teenage entrepreneur from Jerusalem who sold his first company (a bus-booking marketplace) before finishing military service, Cohen raised roughly $100M and amassed some 400 properties across seven U.S. markets. By 2025 the platform had gone dark amid lender lawsuits, missed dividends, and the loss of much of its portfolio.
