Early career
In 1983, Jain's first job out of college was with Burroughs (now known as Unisys) in New Jersey as part of a company-exchange scheme. He moved to Silicon Valley for the warmer weather and spent time with "a slew of startups" before joining Microsoft in 1989. Jain first worked on OS/2, followed by MS-DOS, Windows NT, and Windows 95. He was given three patents relating to Windows 95 and became best known for his work as a program manager.
Prior to its inception, Jain joined Microsoft Network's operations team. After eight years at the company, Red Herring became restless, and said he didn't think a single person could make a difference at a large corporation such as Microsoft. When Netscape Communications raised $2.2 billion in an initial public offering in 1995, Naveen Jain was working on Microsoft Networks (MSN). NetScape's IPO was seen as the beginning of the dot-com bubble because it demonstrated that internet businesses can have large IPOs without first achieving a profit. Naveen left Microsoft to start InfoSpace last year, with the intention of obtaining his own initial public offering as quickly as possible.
