Chris Verderame.
FOUNDER & OPERATOR.
Started my first company in 2019 — been stacking ventures (and unused email accounts and new phone numbers) ever since.

Blackline Acquisitions is a Connecticut-based real estate acquisitions company —
fast cash offers, distressed property acquisition, and foreclosure defense.
Homeowners sell as-is, on their terms, in as little as 7–14 days. Born as
REDEFINED in 2019, rebranded to Blackline in 2025.
My primary venture since day one.
Apex Supply USA is a motorcycle e-commerce and giveaway brand built by riders,
for riders. Every month, one customer wins a brand-new motorcycle —
and every order gets you entries. Between drops, the shop runs deep on tags,
apparel, and gear for the street and the trail.
Shop. Enter. Ride.
A CRM built for the service industry — construction, remodeling, and landscaping companies — changing the way they already do business.
The predecessor to Blackline. REDEFINED launched in 2019 as my first company
and ran for six years before closing in 2025 — rebranding into what Blackline
Acquisitions is today.
Same foundation, sharper focus.
Northeast Auto Supply was a car event and apparel company built around vehicle
giveaways — meets, merch drops, and the chance to drive home in something special.
Launched in 2025 and wound down in early 2026.
Some ventures you scale. Others you learn from.
