About Exonome
Exchange infrastructure for trusted operators.
Why we exist
Communities already share recommendations, make introductions and bring buyers and providers together. That value is real, but it's scattered and informal: it lives in group chats, inboxes and someone's memory, and it's hard to build on.
Exonome gives the people who lead those communities the infrastructure to organize it: their providers, what those providers offer, and the way members find, ask and book them, under their own rules. We help operators give those introductions, listings and bookings a place to happen.
How it started
Exonome grew out of its founder's own ventures. Jonathan Padilla founded Tennis Machine Rentals, a marketplace where players rent ball machines from local owners, and co-founded DinkSF, a San Francisco pickleball program, before stepping away from operating it to focus on Exonome. Jonathan's experience running Tennis Machine Rentals helped shape Exonome. Tennis Machine Rentals and DinkSF now use Exonome.

What we believe
- Trust comes first. The operator decides who can list and what goes live.
- Commerce is a choice. A directory or referral network that stays that way is a success.
- Small is the point. A marketplace works wherever trust already exists, in one city or one community.
