Dean Leitersdorf is the 27-year-old Co-Founder and CEO of Decart, an AI research lab building real-time world models and ultra-fast inference infrastructure. A Technion PhD graduate at 23 and veteran of Israel's elite Unit 8200, he co-founded Decart in late 2023 with Moshe Shalev. The company went from stealth to unicorn status in under a year, raising over $453M total including a $300M Series C in May 2026 backed by NVIDIA, Radical Ventures, Adobe, Toyota, and angel investors including Andrej Karpathy. Decart's products - DOS (inference stack), Lucy (real-time video transformation), and Oasis (the viral AI-generated Minecraft-like game) - position it as a vertically integrated AI company targeting a billion-user consumer app.
Adam Neumann is the charismatic Israeli entrepreneur who co-founded WeWork in 2010 and transformed it into a $47 billion coworking empire before a spectacular 2019 downfall. After leaving with a $1.7 billion exit package, he launched Flow in 2022, a residential real estate startup focused on community-driven rental housing that has already raised over $100 million and achieved a $2.5 billion valuation. Known for his bold vision of 'elevating the world's consciousness' and his almost cult-like ability to inspire followers, Neumann remains one of the most polarizing figures in modern entrepreneurship.
