Steve Repetti Steven Repetti, Crunchfire Ventures, Crunchfire Technologies, Radweb Tech Steve Repetti Expose' a WARNING: To the Nashville Start-Up Community Nashville Tennessee
To all my fellow entrepreneurs and start-up investors in Nashville. I'm sure you can all appreciate the incredible hard work, dedication, and tremendous sacrifice it takes to launch any new business or "start-up". While it's true, technology and the internet have made it easier and more affordable than ever to launch a new business today, in most cases though (as I'm sure ALL of you can attest), it will still usually take a lot of investment capital to scale that business and reach the milestones needed to have a successful outcome and provide shareholders and investors with a profitable return.
However, we all know it takes more than just money to build a successful business. It takes a team of talented and dedicated people committed to doing whatever it takes to make that business a success. In fact, in my opinion, selecting the right 'team" is probably the most important thing you can do to ensure your long term success and avoid future problems...or worse - total failure!
As a start up founder myself, I regrettably have learned that lesson the hard way. Unfortunately, I chose the wrong partnerand it cost me years of hard work and cost my investors over $500k. That is why I decided to write this expose' in the hopes that it will help prevent others from suffering a similar fate. I want to try and make sure no one else is duped or misled by this professional con artist and fraudster that now appears to be preying on the Nashville start up community.
The person I'm referring to is Mr. Steve Repetti (https://www.linkedin.com/in/steverepetti) of Crunchfire Ventures, Crunchfire Technologies, (www.crunchfire.com) and Radweb Tech (www.radwebtech.com).
As you will see from all his various websites, Steve Repetti appears to have a very impressive background and represents himself to be an "accredited" angel investor, software programmer, speaker, author, and all around start-up expert. He proudly promotes his affiliation with other reputable venture capital firms like the New World Angels and The Miami Innovation Fund. He regularly attends and speaks at many different start-up events & conferences, including sponsoring one of the recent well publicized "Start-Up Bus Tour" events in Nashville. He also has numerous YouTube videos featuring him speaking at different events espousing his philosophy, credentials, experience, and his so called expertise?
As you can imagine, given his impressive credentials and online reputation, my original thought was we just hit the proverbial jackpot..right? WRONG!! Herein lies the problem and again, why I chose to write this?
Like most good con artists, Steve Repetti is a MASTER at "talking the talk"! However, I can tell you from first-hand experience that Steve Repetti is not who he represents himself to be. Although he may be competent at writing code, building a website, or spewing the latest "buzz words" to a group of investors or wannabe entrepreneurs, he doesn't have a clue about how to run a company, how to treat people with respect, and he is really nothing more than a total bullshit artist and pathological liar! In fact, my experience working with Steve Repetti was so highly dysfunctional, unprofessional, and contentious that it's actually hard to articulate into words that which would fully convey the tremendous waste of time, money, and disrespect myself, my employees, and all of my investors had to endure by choosing to work with Mr. Steve Repetti! Now, you're probably asking yourself, why would I say all that?
Well, let's review the facts...
According to public records, Steve Repetti has a long history of fraud and deceit! He has been sued numerous times and currently has close to $3 million in previous judgments and other various tax liens, including liens for failure to pay payroll taxes at one of the companies he was previously associated with. He also has a current judgment against him for over $700k (+ another $533K in legal fees) which originated from a "Fraud in the Inducement" claim. He has another judgment for over $300k which represents a "Misrepresentation" claim. Both of these were from previous start up companies whereby Steve Repetti was serving as the CTO or was hired to develop their technology. He is also currently facing litigation from his previous partners at Crunchfire Ventures / Crunchfire Technologies, as well as, another investor who was kind enough to provide a personal loan to him for $12,000.
See the links below to confirm all of my claims made above:

So, how does Steve Repetti continually get away with this type of fraud and deceit?
Again, let's look at the facts... Steve Repetti has at least 12 different tax liens and other judgments levied against him from previous lawsuits. As any smart lawyer will tell you, this now in essence makes him "judgment proof"! This is also something Steve Repetti is keenly aware of and in my opinion also why he has no remorse or reprehension for his fraudulent behavior. Why? Because he knows there will be no financial repercussions for him. He's well aware that any smart business person is not going to continue throwing good money after bad paying attorney's fees pursuing litigation when they know even if they prevail, they will never collect!
So, Why am I addressing the Nashville Start-Up community?
Well, given Steve Repetti's now very documented reputation and history of fraud and deceit here in Florida, combined with his defunct partnership in Crunchfire Ventures and Crunchfire Technologies, he apparently has now set his sights on the Nashville start up community where he appears to continue his pattern of fraud and misrepresentation. Needless to say, Steve Repetti has worn out his welcome here in Florida and, like most "Grifters" who burn there bridges in one location, they will typically relocate to another community to further perpetuate there fraud and deceit on new and unsuspecting innocent victims. Again, this is a classic trait for any good con artist and why I chose to write this expose'. My goal and motivation behind this scathing expose' is to truly try and help others from becoming another victim of Steve Repetti's fraud and misrepresentation!
So, PLEASE, PLEASE don't be fooled!!
Everything I've said here is 100% true and I have the documentation to back up all the claims I've made here (see the links above). Look beyond the public facade and readily available info you will find on Google or YouTube? The reason you'll find what appears to be so much "positive" information about Steve Repetti this way is by his own design. Like any good con artist, they are great at self promotion and Steve Repetti is one of the best! DON'T BE FOOLED...it's all bulls*** and he is nothing more than a crooked fraudster, and a convicted felon!
But, don't just take my word for all this...review the public records for yourself. Ask to speak with all or ANY of his Crunchfire partners? Ask to speak with any other founder in his supposed portfolio of companies. Ask him why he's no longer associated with the New World Angels Group, or The Miami Innovation Fund? Ask Steve Repetti to provide any proof of another startup he's been a part of that's had any success? I'm confident if you do, you will learn everything I've outlined here is 100% true and based on facts!
Steve Repetti is NOT an accredited investor. He has never had a successful venture. And, he has burned EVERYONE he has ever been associated with, including members of his own family!
His home in FLORIDA has so many liens and judgements against it that it is worthless.
So, If you are considering working or partnering with Steve Repetti, please do yourself a favor and take my advice...
RUN!! RUN AS FAST AND AS FAR AS POSSIBLE!!

Response to the 'Anonymous' Attack Against RadWeb's CEO, Steve Repetti
#4REBUTTAL Individual responds
Thu, May 03, 2018
It is unfortunate that people that hide behind the veil of anonymity think it is ok to personally attack others with inuendo, mischaracterizations, misrepresentations, and out and out lies. This has been happening to me in increasing amounts since I filed litigation against a South Florida company consisting of several semi-affluent individuals.
Thus far I have taken the position to ignore their ‘anonymous’ rantings, and instead maintain focus on family, customers, business partners, and associates. My responses to their actions have mostly been through the legal system, much of which is still ongoing. Others have responded unsolicited on my behalf (thanks for that!).
The best response, I think, will come from the court transcripts when this is all over, and where they all will be held accountable for their actions. In the meantime, just a few comments:
Eric Picchetti, also goes by Eric Park Scott Dresden
There is SO much more to respond to, but I’ll trust the legal system to resolve all of this. The damage they have caused is significant and ongoing, and their day of reckoning is coming. Also, they may try to hide under the umbrella of anonymity, but now you all know it’s just a bunch of affluenza-impaired individuals throwing a tantrum because they can’t get their way.
Thanks to all of my family, friends, and other supporters.

Steve Repetti has a long record of faudulent activity dating back to the early 1990's and it seems that others are effectively exposing Steve Repetti for what he really is.
-----
In the email (see image) to Jim McNeil, CEO of 5G, from attorney Keith Grumer on May 22nd, 2008 referencing "our brief review of the Affirmative pleadings uncovered Repetti's previously undisclosed economic crimes convictions."
During 2006-2008 Steve Repetti as the CEO of BRT systematically engaged in fraudulent activities that included tax evasion, misuse/theft of shareholder funds, denying shareholder rights, denying debt instruments and lying under oath in a Broward County Court. Repetti was removed as an Officer/Director of the Corporation by 17th Circuit Judge Carole Lisa Phillips.

IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE
17TH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT IN AND
FOR BROWARD COUNTY, FLORIDA
wikinvest.com/stock/Affirmative_Insurance_Holdings_%28AFFM%29/Legal_Regulatory_Proceedings
Affirmative Insurance Holdings, Inc. and Affirmative Property Holdings, Inc. brought action against Business Risk Technology, Inc. and Steven M. Repetti (BRT) in the Circuit Court of the 17th Judicial Circuit, Broward County, Florida in January 2006 for fraudulent inducement, breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and for declaratory and supplemental relief arising from the defendant’s wrongful conduct and contractual breaches.
This action involves our enforcement of certain rights under a software license agreement we entered with BRT wherein BRT agreed to develop and provide us with a complete turnkey software system for use by our various affiliates.
BRT has asserted counterclaims for breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and fraud. In July 2007, the court granted summary judgment in favor of BRT on our breach of contract claim.
On February 13, 2008, the court dismissed all of BRT’s (Repetti's) counterclaims with prejudice. We expect to go to trial on our fraudulent inducement claim against BRT in the second quarter of 2008.

Repetti's Decades of Fraud

In 1999 Steven Repetti lied about his academic credentials and professional credentials.
https://web.archive.org/web/20010413035653/http://www.tnn.com/tnn/faculty/Steve.htm
-- THE LIE --
Steven received a joint BS degree from Carnegie-Mellon University in Information and Decisions Systems (concentration in Computer Science) and Industrial Management.
-- THE TRUTH --
Repetti was a high school drop out and does not have a high school diploma, let alone college degrees. Repetti admitted this while being deposed in a lawsuit in Florida.
Just another lie and fabrication by Steve Repetti. You can't believe anything that he says.
He's poison to any company or people that he's ever been involved with.
