What if someone told you they could help you communicate better? That's the mission Max Lytvyn, co-founder of Grammarly, has been on since 2009. After working on plagiarism detection technology, Max realized that the root of plagiarism was people's desire to be better writers. The company was incredibly early to use AI to aid in communication and now has grown to over 30 million daily users and a valuation north of $13 billion. Max shares why their technology started with the mechanics of language, why the first product targeted professional writers, and how his childhood in Ukraine inspired him to become an entrepreneur.
