Importing companies
Last updated October 6, 2026
Got a list — a market, a target sheet, a conference roster? Import the whole thing into a grid instead of adding companies one by one.
What you can import
A CSV or Excel file (.csv, .xlsx), up to 50 MB and 20,000 rows. Any columns work. You choose which columns to keep:
- One column has to name the row, usually the company name. It runs down the left of the grid.
- For each other column, choose Keep as a column, Column, and Input if you want the research to read it, or Leave it out.
How to import
- Open GridIQ from the sidebar.
- Click New grid and choose Upload a file.
- Match the columns, then create the grid.

No file? Ask Luna
You don't need a spreadsheet to start. Create the grid with Ask Luna and say what the rows should be:

What happens next
Add a question column and run it. Alkemy answers it for every row in the background. Promote the companies worth pursuing to Key Accounts.
⏱️ What to expect: researching a long list takes time and runs in the background. Leave the page and come back.
