Grammarly was set up by three Ukrainians in 2009. It has a manpower of 600 employees. It has 30 million daily active users across the world. It has become a unicorn. The idea of Grammarly is to make people use software to communicate well. It wants world to write better English — error-free, no plagiarism and a proper grammar. The idea originated from a previous company they created to help prevent plagiarism.

At least two of Grammarly’s founders have become billionnaires — Max Lytvyn and Alex Shevchenko. Alex is a Canadian citizen. Brad Hoover is the third co-founder. He joined Grammarly in 2011. The breakthrough came in 2014 when it offered a free plan with basic features, and the option to pay for advanced ones. In 2015, they released browser extensions.
