Mina Mar Group and the Tiny Door Into the Public Markets
For twenty years, Mina Mar Group has worked a peculiar corner of finance: the small company that wants public-market access but cannot hire an investment bank to solve every problem. Its product is less a security than a sequence - filings, accountants, lawyers, market makers, investors and, sometimes, a public shell - arranged in the right order.
DealMaker Wants to Turn Fundraising Into Checkout

Landa
Landa was a New York fintech that let anyone buy fractional shares of single-family rental homes for as little as $5 through a mobile app, collecting monthly dividends from rent and any appreciation. Founded in 2019 by Yishai Cohen and Amit Assaraf, it packaged each property into its own LLC, managed the homes with proprietary software, and ran a secondary marketplace for trading shares. After raising $33M in equity and roughly $62M in debt and surpassing 200,000 registered users, the platform went dark in 2025 amid lender lawsuits, missed dividends, and a court-ordered receivership over 119 properties.
