Sheetgo

Sheetgo is a Spanish-Brazilian software venture whose product automates the movement and synchronization of information between spreadsheets and other cloud-based office applications. Its central proposition is to make spreadsheets function as connected components in repeatable business workflows rather than as isolated files that users must update manually. The platform is designed to transfer data between online spreadsheets and compatible storage or processing environments, helping users maintain traceability, automate recurring updates, and create lightweight workflow-management and data-governance systems without replacing the spreadsheet tools already used by their organizations. The origins of Sheetgo predate the company’s formal founding. Yannick Rault Van der Vaart developed the initial concept while working on a Brazilian social-urbanism startup that handled substantial operational and analytical data in spreadsheets. The team needed a practical way to connect separate spreadsheet files and automate the transfer of information between them. In 2009, Van der Vaart and Jonatan Gomes da Silva, who was then leading the organization’s IT department, created an application for spreadsheet data transfer. The concept received broader validation in 2010 when the founders presented the system to multinational technology companies in Mountain View, California. Chad Pittman and Rafael Vidal later joined the team, contributing customer-success and technical expertise. Rather than commercialize a collection of related technologies, the team chose to concentrate on one scalable product. The application was formally released in 2015 under the name Import Sheet. In February 2016, the venture was selected for backing by a Brazilian technology accelerator. It was also selected that year by a Spanish seed accelerator in Valencia, which prompted part of the team to relocate to Spain and helped shape the company’s Spanish-Brazilian identity. In 2017, Import Sheet was renamed Sheetgo. The company subsequently obtained a combination of subsidized debt and equity financing totaling €600,000, according to the cited reference material, and also received support from Spain’s Center for Industrial Technological Development. Sheetgo is delivered as software as a service and is accessible through common desktop operating systems and web browsers, including Windows, macOS, and Linux environments. Its workflow model is intended for organizations that need structured exchanges among spreadsheets, such as consolidating submissions, distributing templates, gathering reports, and maintaining centralized operational records. The platform’s stated user base exceeds 200,000 people across more than 60 countries. Its customer categories include businesses, nonprofit organizations, universities, and government institutions. The brand’s positioning centers on spreadsheet interoperability, process automation, and accessibility. Instead of requiring customers to abandon familiar spreadsheet applications or implement a large enterprise-resource-planning suite, Sheetgo presents a lower-friction way to connect existing files and automate routine data operations. The available reference material does not establish a current parent company, public listing, corporate owner, headquarters city, or official website. Sheetgo’s present operating status is treated as active based on its continuing description as a cloud software product, while detailed current executive roles and recent corporate developments remain incompletely documented.

Sheetgo grew out of a spreadsheet-automation problem encountered in a Brazilian social-urbanism startup founded by Yannick Rault Van der Vaart. That organization used spreadsheets to collect, manage, and analyze large volumes of information. Because the files were difficult to keep synchronized, Van der Vaart and Jonatan Gomes da Silva developed a way to connect spreadsheets and move data between them automatically. The first application was created in 2009, when Gomes da Silva was responsible for the organization’s IT function. The concept gained external validation in 2010, when the founders were invited to present the system to multinational technology companies in Mountain View, California. Chad Pittman and Rafael Vidal later joined the project, bringing customer-success and technical capabilities. The team explored several complementary technologies but ultimately decided that a single scalable product would offer a clearer path to partnerships, investment, and broader adoption. The product entered the market in 2015 as Import Sheet. In February 2016, the company received backing from a Brazilian technology accelerator. During the same year, it was selected by a Spanish seed accelerator based in Valencia. That support contributed to the relocation of part of the team to Spain and helped establish the venture as a Spanish-Brazilian startup. In 2017, Import Sheet was rebranded Sheetgo. The company also raised a reported €600,000 through subsidized debt and additional equity from accelerator programs and other public and private entities. A CDTI grant provided further Spanish public support. In 2018, Sheetgo received the Emprendedores XXI Award, associated with CaixaBank, ENISA, Caixa Capital RISC, and BPI, in recognition of its innovation in information and communications technology. The product is described as browser-based software as a service that can be used across Windows, macOS, and Linux environments. It connects spreadsheets and other online office resources, automatically synchronizes information, and supports traceable workflows. Reported users exceed 200,000 in more than 60 countries, with customers spanning commercial companies, nonprofits, universities, and government bodies.
