S3 E4 - Global by Design: Scaling Across Borders & Owning Your Platform

On this week’s episode of Silicon Valley Impact, we sit down with Danil Kislinskiy, Founder & CEO of Go Global World, and Jonathan Padilla, Founder & CEO of Exonome.   Danil built Go Global World into an international venture platform connecting startups, investors, and mentors across Silicon Valley, Europe, and emerging markets. Through global community-building and hands-on ecosystem design, Danil helps founders achieve product–market fit, expand into the U.S., and raise capital with confidence.   Go Global World supports international teams entering the U.S. market with incorporation, tax, accounting, and direct access to venture networks. Danil also leads investment processes, startup due diligence, and global potential assessments through Selective VC, a fund and angel community investing across industries.   Jonathan built Exonome as an exchange infrastructure platform enabling trusted operators—brands, communities, and organizations—to launch and scale curated marketplaces on their own terms. Instead of relying on extractive third-party platforms, Exonome allows operators to invite vetted providers, create trusted ecosystems, and evolve into full marketplaces when ready—while maintaining ownership and control.   A technical founder with 30+ years building on the internet, Jonathan has led digital strategy and platform initiatives at Salesforce, Microsoft, Razorfish, and AKQA. Today, he is focused on building infrastructure for trust-based, operator-led growth.   This and much more on Silicon Valley Impact!   Follow us on and listen to all our episodes on: 🎙️Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/68L4RPfMizjxnKBsmcFb1J 🍎Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/silicon-valley-impact/id1776876823 📺 Youtube:  https://www.youtube.com/@siliconvalleyimpact   Silicon Valley Venture, LLC, the parent company of Silicon Valley Impact, is a proud global venture partner to great companies, MoralesHR and STAK Ventures, and 1900 Broadway Tower - Oakland.
