The Import CSV to List function allows users to create a new List by importing an existing CSV file. Golden will attempt to match names of entities in your existing CSV file with the canonical entities in the Golden Knowledge Graph, allowing you to enrich your private knowledge and more.

Names of Companies, People, VC Firms, Cryptocurrencies, or Products work great for this!

Official websites, social media URLs (LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.) or Golden URLs work great for this!

We will use the names of entities, along with any unique identifying fields, from your existing CSV file to look for matching canonical entities in the Golden Knowledge Graph. It is important that we map the columns in your existing CSV to canonical entities in the Golden Knowledge Graph in order to prevent any ambiguity.
