About Richard Trepp

Serial entrepreneur who loves building business that are built to last. Over the last 40 years I have been supremely lucky to work with incredibly talented people and create multiple successful businesses including Rockport, the leading enterprise platform for CRE finance, and Trepp, the industry standard in CMBS data and analytics. I am also an active board member and philanthropist, supporting Avenues for Justice, an alternative to incarceration program for youth offenders, and the National Scholastic Chess Foundation, a program that brings chess into our schools and communities. I am proud to have been affiliated with both for decades and have seen the profound effects both have on our youth.

   Inspiring Excellence Through Chess - The National Scholastic Chess Foundation (NSCF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit educational organization founded in 1990 to provide the benefits of a chess education to students of all ages. The primary focus of the NSCF’s programs is to develop critical thinkers. The cornerstone of the critical thinking process is considering and evaluating options. This process requires discipline, deliberation and decision. For 30 years, the NSCF has worked with diverse populations in private and public schools. The NSCF operates a variety of programs in 60 schools in 30 different communities in New York and Connecticut, and implements teacher training programs and community-focused chess programs in cities across the USA.
