Build a Marketplace in 3 Hours - A Hands-On Lab

The best marketplaces often begin with something one person understands unusually well: a local community, professional ecosystem, personal passion, specialized service, unusual collection, or underserved group.

Bring a passion, profession, neighborhood, subculture, or overlooked ecosystem. Leave with the first working version of your own marketplace.

Your idea could become the next big marketplace business—or a valuable hyperlocal exchange built specifically for a community you understand better than anyone else.

If you’ve ever thought, “Someone should build a marketplace for this,” this workshop is your opportunity to become that someone.

Join Exonome for a hands-on SF Tech Week Marketplace Launch Lab. You’ll turn your idea into a working, branded marketplace where people can discover providers, resources, products, services, experiences, and one another. No coding skills are required.

During the session, you’ll define:

• Who your marketplace serves • What participants can offer or discover • How each side creates value for the others • The categories and experiences your marketplace needs • Whether it should generate revenue, meaningful connections, or both • Who you should invite first

Then you’ll build and launch the first version using Exonome.

This is not a pitch competition, startup lecture, or theoretical business-model exercise. It is a working session designed to help you leave with something tangible.

Bring your laptop, your idea, and your knowledge of a community or ecosystem. Exonome will provide the marketplace infrastructure and hands-on guidance.

Space is limited so every participant can receive individual support.

This event is a part of #SFTechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com.
