Craig Newmark
Founder, Customer Service Representative
CraigslistCraig Newmark -- the man behind the global network of Craigslist websites -- launched an e-mail list of San Francisco events as a hobby in 1995. The list became a website, the company was incorporated as a for-profit in 1999 and its family of sites -- which offer real estate for-sale and rental listings among a wide range of categories -- now collect over 20 billion page views per month. The site earns revenue from job ads in 18 city areas, New York City... apartment listings and some other ads. There are about 700 local Craigslist sites in 70 countries, and about 50 million U.S. users. Newmark has taken up a number of causes since founding craigslist, supporting the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, Donorschoose.org, the Sunlight Foundation and Kiva.org, among others. He also serves on the advisory board for Wikipedia. A self-described nerd, Newmark is a software engineer who spent 30 years working with computers for a range of companies, including IBM and Bank of America.
