Wikipedia:Grid ehf.

GRID is a web-based productivity tool for working with spreadsheet data and models based in Reykjavík, Iceland. The company was founded in 2018 by Hjálmar Gíslason, previously from DataMarket and is in public beta.

Software


GRID provides a web-based notebook interface on top of spreadsheet workbooks created in Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets.

GRID documents are created using a WYSIWIG editor to make the notebooks and supports file synchronization to keep the notebooks up to date with any changes to underlying spreadsheets.

A traditional Spreadsheet only visualizes the data presented, but the tools are evolving to allow anyone to take the data and model it quicker and faster. A Graphical widget is used to easily manipulate various cells, calculations and charts without affecting the underlying data. This allows people without expert domain knowledge to create models and predictions which can trickle through the calculations.

History
In March 2019, GRID received $3.5 million in seed funding from BlueYard Capital, Slack Fund and others. In such a small country as Iceland, this is noteworthy because it is one of the largest seed funding rounds.
