Welcome Matt Morse to the Citizinvestor team!

We are thrilled to announce that Matt Morse has joined the Citizinvestor team as our lead Community Partner!

For eight years, Matt has worked in the technology management and public policy fields. He served as a federal and state lobbyist at The Pew Charitable Trusts, including advocacy for the passage and implementation of legislation in Congress and 10 states.

Matthew also worked for three years as the project manager for Pew’s Voting Information Project (VIP), where he worked closely with Citizinvestor Co-founder, Jordan Raynor. VIP is a partnership between the Pew Center on the States, state election offices, major technology companies, and voter engagement groups to provide information to help voters navigate the election process by leveraging Internet technologies.

At Citizinvestor, Matt will be leading our efforts to secure projects from municipalities and build relationships with civic leaders. This will culminate in better organized communities unified to fund and support these projects. Matt is incredibly talented and is well respected by leaders in this space. He will be a huge asset to Citizinvestor as we continue to secure partnerships with some of the largest and most innovative cities in the U.S. to crowdfund the projects citizens care about most.
