Chicago Loan Officer:
Matthew Revere
I’m a dedicated advocate for small business owners, currently helping entrepreneurs access the capital they need as part of Pursuit in Chicago. With over 12 years of experience in business development and lending, I’m passionate about creating opportunities for underserved communities.
Before joining Pursuit, I played a key role at Next Street, leading strategic partnerships and advisory services, helping to launch and grow The Source in Cook County, IL—a program that has supported 15,000 businesses and distributed $40 million in funding.
I’m proud to have made a lasting impact on local economies through my ability to connect with government agencies, financial institutions, and community stakeholders. My insights into economic development have been featured in national media outlets such as NPR and The Washington Post. I bring strategic vision and a deep personal commitment to my work, ensuring that entrepreneurs like you have the resources needed to thrive.
