MetroMesh CEO Returns to NYU to Share Startup Journey with Students
Jessica Hsu currently serves as the Marketing & SDR at MetroMesh Media.
About MetroMesh Media MetroMesh Media is a hyper-local DOOH advertising platform that helps brands and advertisers reach urban audiences with effective, mobile, and high-visibility ads by deploying smart digital displays on last-mile delivery riders for real-time targeted exposure.
As New York University marked the start of its fall semester this week, one recent graduate returned to campus — this time at the front of the classroom.
Winn Hsu, Class of 2024 and Co-Founder & CEO of MetroMesh Media, was invited by Professor Jeremy Kagan to guest lecture at the Stern School of Business. Just a year ago, Hsu was an NYU Tandon School of Engineering student, immersed in CAD models and circuit boards. On Tuesday, he spoke to MBA students about scaling a media startup, navigating fundraising, and building a company from a college project into a venture-backed enterprise.
“It was surreal,” Hsu said. “Not long ago, I was the one scrambling to find the lecture hall. Now I get to stand at the front and share the lessons we’ve learned at MetroMesh.”
MetroMesh, founded out of NYU’s entrepreneurial ecosystem, transforms micromobility fleets into hyper-local, digital advertising platforms. The company has quickly gained traction in New York City and beyond, with partnerships spanning agencies, delivery networks, and investors.
For Hsu, the experience underscored the role NYU plays in shaping the next generation of entrepreneurs. “The energy and curiosity in that classroom reminded me why NYU is such a special place to build,” he added. “I can’t wait to see the wave of founders coming out of NYU.”
