You can use below formula in column C
=IFERROR(IF(MATCH(E2,$U$2:$U$21,0)>0,"Gateway",""),"")

You may try this...
In C2
=IF(E2="","",IF(ISNA(MATCH(E2,U:U,0)),"","Gateway"))and copy it down.
As per the formula, if a cell in column E is empty, the formula will return a null string i.e. blank otherwise the formula will use MATCH function to look for the company name entered in column E and check whether it is present in column U or not and if a company match was not found the Match function will return #N/A error to the outer function ISNA which will then be evaluated as true and the formula cell will return a blank again else if a company match is found in column U, the formula will return Gateway in column C.
