Matthew Crowe is a swindler who knowingly engaged the services of a number of firms over a period of several months, then neglected to pay them. Worse still, he also hired at least two individuals and chose not to pay them for their work, despite their obvious talents and industry. He then skipped town from Minneapolis, where he had managed to secure an office (no doubt he didn't pay for that, either) to San Francisco, where he appears to be still trying to market his venture capital fund; the core offering of the fund seems to be based around an idea from one of his unfortunate hires (that he never paid). He will do anything to try and seem reputable (cf his appearance as (unpaid!) blogger at a number of newspaper/magazine sites in SF, Minneapolis and even UK. He is active in social media and not to be trusted.
During he consistently misrepresented himself, encouraging others to meet with him and use their networks to help him try and raise capital.
