Nov 2021Undisclosed stageBaillie Gifford (lead); BlackRock (lead)$200M$13BGrammarly, an AI-powered writing assistant founded in 2009 by Alex Shevchenko, Dmytro Lider, and Max Lytvyn, raised $200 million on November 17, 2021, at a $13 billion post-money valuation in a round led by Baillie Gifford and BlackRock, with participation from General Catalyst, IVP, and others. The funding brought total capital raised to over $400 million across three rounds, including a $110M Series A in 2017 and $90M Series B in 2019 at over $1B valuation. The company, cash flow positive from early days, planned to use proceeds for AI and natural language processing advancements, product innovation, team expansion, and enhancing user trust amid rising remote work demands. Grammarly's core product offers machine learning-based suggestions for spelling, grammar, tone, and personalized communication feedback, serving millions of daily active users, particularly non-native English speakers in regions like India and the Philippines for professional and academic writing. The 2021 round validated its business strength and mission to improve global communication in digitized, remote-first environments, as highlighted by investors like Peter Singlehurst of Baillie Gifford. Subsequent developments include a $1B non-dilutive raise in 2025 preserving the $13B valuation.
Oct 2019Undisclosed stageGeneral Catalyst (lead); Sozo Ventures; IVP$90M$1BGrammarly, an AI-powered writing assistant founded in 2009, raised $90 million in an investment round on October 10, 2019, led by General Catalyst with participation from IVP and other investors, bringing total funding to $200 million. The round valued the company at over $1 billion, achieving unicorn status, as confirmed by CEO Brad Hoover to TechCrunch. Grammarly's tools help users improve clarity, engagement, tone, and grammar in writing, serving over 20 million daily active users across personal, educational, and business contexts, including more than 2,000 businesses and institutions. The funding aims to expand Grammarly's AI capabilities for native and non-native English speakers globally, enhance natural language processing, and develop enterprise features for team-based professional writing in distributed work environments. Grammarly operates a freemium model with free basic access and paid Premium and Business subscriptions, generating revenue solely through these upgrades without selling user data. The company has maintained profitability since 2011, bootstrapped initially before its first $110 million round in 2017 also led by General Catalyst and IVP. Grammarly positions itself as creating a new category in digital writing assistants amid rising digital communication demands, facing limited direct competition. Later developments include a 2025 acquisition of Superhuman email client, but this is unrelated to the 2019 VC round queried.
May 2017Undisclosed stageGeneral Catalyst (lead); Breyer Capital; IVP; SignalFire; Spark Capital$110M-Grammarly, a writing assistant software offering grammar, spelling, tone, and style suggestions across platforms, raised a $110M Series A funding round in 2017 led by General Catalyst, with participation from IVP, Spark Capital, Breyer Capital, and SignalFire. This round followed earlier funding and positioned Grammarly for expansion amid its growing user base. The 2017 round occurred when Grammarly was establishing dominance in AI-powered writing tools, originally launched in 2009. Grammarly later achieved unicorn status with a $90M Series B in 2019 at over $1B valuation and raised additional growth capital, reaching $301.72M total funding by 2021 at a $13B valuation. Recent developments include surpassing $700M ARR by 2025 with over 40M daily users, acquisition of Superhuman (an email tool with ~$35M annual revenue, previously valued at $825M in 2021), and rebranding efforts toward a broader AI productivity suite under names like Superhuman.
