Take your deal flow and contact management to the next level of organization.
One of the most significant challenges in private equity, venture capital, and corporate dealmaking is organization. As your pipeline grows, so does the complexity of tracking multiple reports, contacts, and critical documents. That’s why we’re excited to announce ListAlpha’s new second layer of folder aggregation—a feature designed to help you categorize and manage your expanding data with ease.
With this improvement, you can now create nested folder structures—giving you an extra level of organization for your contacts, deal reports, or any other objects you store in ListAlpha. Think of it as folders within folders, enabling your team to zoom in on exactly what they need and filter out the noise.

Sharper Focus
By creating subfolders within your main folders, you can separate high-priority deals from less urgent tasks. Whether you’re segmenting by sector, geography, or deal stage, this structure makes it easy to home in on exactly what matters.
Better Collaboration
When your entire team uses the same folder structure, everyone knows where to find relevant files—improving real-time decision-making and streamlining communication.
Streamlined Contact Management
Advisers, NEDs, CEOs, and founders can be grouped into clearly labeled subfolders (for example, “Healthcare CEOs” inside a “Healthcare” folder). This approach cuts down on time spent searching for the right contact.
More Insightful Deal Tracking
Deal reports can be grouped by sector or geography (“Tech M&A – Europe,” “Consumer – North America”), making it easy to track how certain markets or industries evolve over time.
1. Create Your Main Folders
Start by setting up top-level folders (e.g., “Contacts,” “Deal Reports,” or “Research”). These serve as your primary categories.
2. Add Subfolders
Within each main folder, add second-level folders to further classify items by sector, geography, or deal stage. The flexibility is yours!
3. Drag, Drop & Rearrange
Easily move items between folders and subfolders by dragging and dropping. Refine your folder hierarchy on the fly to keep it intuitive and relevant.
4. Easy Access & Search
Not sure where you saved that important document or contact record? Use ListAlpha’s robust search function to quickly locate your content—no matter how deep it’s nested.
Standardize Naming Conventions
Align your team on a clear labeling system, such as “Region – Sector – Stage,” to ensure everyone can quickly find the folders they need.
Assign Folder Permissions
Control who can view or edit specific folders and subfolders. This is especially helpful for segregating sensitive deals or confidential contact data.
Archive & Purge
If older deals or contacts are no longer active, move them into an “Archive” folder to keep your primary workspace uncluttered—without losing historical references.
The second layer of folder aggregation is just one step in our ongoing mission to help you work smarter. We’re also rolling out AI-driven deal input, auto-enriched contact data, and formula-based calculations (including SUMIF and constants) to eliminate manual spreadsheet juggling. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to innovate at warp speed.
