    Participated · Equity · Aug 2017

    Sheetgo provides a single application that connects critical spreadsheet data across Google, Microsoft and Dropbox environments to let managers build automated workflows without IT intervention. The platform targets heads of department who need no-code automation inside familiar spreadsheet tools. It has more than 3.5 million downloads on the Google Workspace Marketplace. Following a company restructuring, Sheetgo is prioritizing a ‘beyond spreadsheets’ product release and a more customer-centric, proactive commercialization strategy. The startup plans to pursue third-party security certification for larger clients and deepen collaboration with existing technology partners. The company says the new capital will be used to increase commercial presence and scale its customer base. Bewater Funds noted Sheetgo met the Rule of 40, an indicator referenced by the investor in deciding to lead the round. Sheetgo offers a cloud SaaS layer around spreadsheets that lets users create, automate, share and control workflows by connecting and synchronizing multiple sheets, avoiding manual copy‑paste and reducing errors. The product is available as a Google G Suite / Google Sheets add‑on and is compatible with Excel, CSV, OpenOffice and Microsoft OneDrive. The company was founded in 2016 by Yannick L. Rault and is based in Valencia. Sheetgo reports 500,000 users and a customer base across 70 countries that includes companies such as Spotify, Uber, The Guardian, Delta Airlines, Banque Nationale, Sage and Air Liquide. The company says the new product version will greatly expand users' workflow management capacity and enable many more integrations while keeping the user experience simple. It plans to use the funds to expand and refine its technology and to continue international expansion. Sheetgo develops a tool that lets users connect and automate data flows in spreadsheets easily. The platform is available in the Google G Suite Marketplace and supports Google Sheets, Excel, CSV and other formats. The founding team includes Yannick L. Rault (founder and CEO) and cofounders Chad Pittman, Jonatan Gomes da Silva and Rafael Vidal, who previously built an online spreadsheet-based management system. The company is exploring expanding its technology to other platforms such as OneDrive.
