One of Joe's earliest job was duplicating a microfiche. The next summer he started a T-shirt design company and made $25,000 in one summer. In 1993, Joe Kraus went on to start Excite (a search engine) with four of his friends, with $3 million in funding from [[Vinod Khosla]] and [[Kleiner Perkins]]. Excite went for an IPO in 1996, and Joe Kraus's shares in Excite were worth $12 million. He was just 24 at that time.
Mr. Kraus has also invested in startups such as HomeAway, ngmoco, RelayRides, OpenCandy and gomiso.
