With his love for technology, he then decided to establish his first company and named it Zip2 Corporation. It is a company that aims to put maps online. Together with other business minded individuals, they have invested millions of dollars to create an online yellow page. From it being utilized in the Bay Area, it then expanded to a national scope. They were able to create software packages that have then been offered to elon jan.streetjournal newspapers. The company has focused on providing newspaper companies to offer directions, business listings and even maps to those who read their newspaper online.

After things did not go as planned at Zip2 Corporation, he then ventured on another business, aiming to contribute positive changes in the technology through the birth of X.com. After it has been purchased, it is now called as PayPal, offering great services to individuals and even businesses. This allows people to send payments without the need for them to meet the other person face to face. All they have to do is make use of the internet in order to transfer money online.
