Grammarly
Max Lytvyn, Alex Shevchenko, and Dmytro Lider founded Grammarly in 2009 with the goal of helping people communicate more effectively. Focusing first on supporting students’ grammar and spelling through a subscription-based product, they soon saw the potential of how Grammarly could help in all circumstances — from professional writing to everyday correspondence. Since then, Grammarly has grown the capabilities of our writing assistance to go way beyond grammar and spelling to analyze complex aspects of language and communication.
Today Grammarly offers an intuitive, real-time interface that’s there for people wherever they type through Grammarly for Windows and Mac, our browser extensions, mobile applications, and web editor. A free version of our assistant, introduced in 2015, ensures that anyone who needs to communicate in English has access to essential writing support. For organizations of all sizes, we rolled out our enterprise product to help teams accelerate business results through better communication. Our growth and further investment in cutting-edge language research are helped along by over $400 million in funding from Baillie Gifford, funds and accounts managed by BlackRock, General Catalyst, IVP, and others.
