Mario Rosser

This is the 66th Upstream Social.

Our event will be in partnership with Early Stage Politics (earlystagepolitics.com), a new event series that highlights up-and-coming political candidates and connects them to the startup and VC community.

Our guest speaker is Mario Rosser (mariorosser.com). Mario is running for New York City’s 9th City Council District which encompasses most of Harlem and parts of the Upper Westside and Morningside Heights. Prior to running for office, Mario spent 7 years at LinkedIn and is a graduate of Columbia University.

COVID-19 exposed and accelerated deep economic and opportunity disparities across the nation, hitting New York City particularly hard. Mario will join us to discuss why we can’t go back to “business as usual” and what economic recovery looks like in neighborhoods like Harlem. He will also share what it’s like to run for local office in NYC.
