From 1995 through 1998, he was co-founder, Chairman, and CEO of USWeb Corporation, which, under his leadership, became the world’s largest Internet consulting firm, serving half of the Fortune 100. USWeb went public in 1997 and later achieved a market capitalization of $3 billion. In 1998, Joseph received Silicon Valley’s “Young Entrepreneur of the Year” award from Ernst & Young.

From 1998 through 2000, Joseph was Chairman of Intend Change, a venture construction firm that organized $250 million in capital and assembled a small number of significant information technology companies including Electron Economy, Invesmart, and the R&D project leading to ManyOne.
