Antoine Wade and the Vision Behind Next Gen Heights
When Antoine Wade founded Next Gen Heights, he wasn’t just starting another career development platform—he was creating a movement. With a career built on mentoring, leadership, and helping professionals navigate the tech industry, Antoine recognized a pressing need: too many talented people were being overlooked or underpaid simply because they lacked access to the right guidance, community, and opportunities.
Next Gen Heights was born to change that.
A Vision Rooted in Opportunity
Antoine’s vision for Next Gen Heights is simple yet powerful: to help professionals—especially those breaking into or advancing within tech—secure a 20%+ salary increase within 6 months. He believes that success in tech is not just about skills, but also about strategy, confidence, and access to networks that open doors.
Through structured mentorship, targeted career coaching, and real-world strategies, Next Gen Heights equips members with the tools to negotiate better offers, land leadership roles, and build sustainable, upwardly mobile careers.
From Black Heights to Next Gen Heights
Previously known as Black Heights, the platform initially focused on serving Black professionals in tech by creating community and representation in spaces where diversity was lacking. That mission remains central. But with the transition to Next Gen Heights, Antoine is expanding the reach: providing a high-impact resource for all professionals ready to transform their careers while still centering equity, inclusion, and cultural awareness.
Building a Legacy of Growth
For Antoine, Next Gen Heights isn’t just about jobs—it’s about empowerment. It’s about helping individuals create generational change by unlocking financial growth, professional confidence, and career stability. His leadership reflects a belief that when professionals rise, communities rise with them.
As Next Gen Heights moves forward, Antoine’s vision is clear: to become the go-to platform for ambitious professionals seeking mentorship, strategy, and career elevation in tech.
This is more than a program. It’s a path to thriving, and it’s only the beginning.
