Allia Mohamed
Allia Mohamed is the co-founder and CEO of Openigloo, a New York City rental-review platform she launched in 2020 to bring transparency to one of the most opaque markets in America. A Canadian-Egyptian New Yorker who came up through Wall Street capital markets and venture capital, she turned her own miserable experience renting from a neglectful Brooklyn landlord into a crowdsourced 'Yelp for landlords.' Openigloo has grown into a leasing marketplace used by well over a million NYC renters to review buildings, vet landlords, and find verified apartments, while Mohamed has become a public voice in tenant-rights fights like the FARE Act.
Openigloo
Openigloo is a New York-based rental platform that brings transparency to the housing market by letting tenants read and write anonymous, crowdsourced reviews of landlords and buildings, cross-referenced with public city data on violations, litigation and bedbug reports. Founded in 2020 by Allia Mohamed and Srujan Routhu, the app helps renters find verified, highly-rated apartments and check whether units are rent-stabilized, and has expanded into landlord-facing leasing tools under the IglooIQ brand.
