What We Do

Nextplay was founded in 2017 by Lesley Toche, a former Tech Recruiter & Diversity Program Manager at LinkedIn. We initially launched to create a space where every Black & Latinx tech professional could belong.

         We partnered with fortune 500 companies to host networking events centered around live entertainment--executive speakers, hiring managers, live performances, live DJ’s, art, vendors & authentic food/open bar.
Today, Nextplay is a global network of 22,000+ experienced Black & Latinx professionals in the technology industry.

We’ve connected our members with their dream jobs at 100+ major tech & Media companies, hosted events in the U.S, Europe & Africa and added a direct recruiting service to connect talent with opportunity outside of events. We’re closing the wealth gap for Black & Latinx communities by opening doors in the technology & Media industry.
