Grammarly built a $13 billion grammar-checking empire in a world where every word processor already has a spell check. How?

From targeting broke students first to brute-forcing brand awareness with relentless YouTube ads, Grammarly did everything wrong-yet somehow, it all worked. They even bootstrapped their way to tens of millions in revenue before raising a dime.

But with AI-powered writing tools everywhere, can Grammarly survive? And how have they avoided controversy while thriving in academia and business, unlike other AI-driven platforms?

Let’s break down the four counterintuitive moves that made Grammarly a billion-dollar giant.

I get this question with some frequency- how did you guys establish Slidebean in the US? For 21-year-old me, the prospect of owning a legal entity in another country might have been as foreign as Klingon.

The truth is, sadly, information about all of this is scattered all over the web, and you have no choice but to read-a lot. Or learn by messing up.

In case you didn't know- I'm Costa Rican. We started Slidebean in San José, but Slidebean was established as a US company from the get-go. If you want to raise venture capital, or if you want to sell internationally- a US company is probably the way to go in most parts of the world.

So in this video, we will go over the good, the bad, and the ugly of running a US company- and whether it's right for you.

Over the years we’ve spent millions of dollars serving the almighty algorithm, almost like a god that we have to optimize for.

The reason why you are even watching this video is because we figured it out, back in 2016. We figured out how to rank for Google- but it wouldn’t last.

We soon discovered how ranking for the algorithm is, like with many things in the business world, a question of money- a question that makes Google ever more powerful and that has spun obscure markets for shady SEO tactics. We learned first how much Google can take away. We discovered that Google’s plans just don’t align with what companies want.

TikTok might just be the last new social media giant we’ll ever see. Every major platform before it-MySpace, Facebook, Instagram, Vine-was built on the back of groundbreaking tech innovations. But with no new waves to ride, social media as we know it is hitting a plateau. What comes next for our online behavior, and will platforms ever truly evolve again? Let’s break it down.

Some marketing campaigns are plain genius. In an instant, we click with them, and yes, we buy whatever they're selling.

Right now, I can bet a lot of fails come to mind. I can think of Apple's 1984 ad and Nike's Just Do It campaigns.

Also, all the brands that used the white and gold/black and blue dress. By the way, it's black and blue, right?

But, this is Forensics. So, as there are great campaigns, there are epic failures. We love those.

In this episode, we'll see the worst marketing campaigns in history. So, let's dive right into it.

Is Crowdfunding a startup a bad idea?

Thanks to MarketerHire for sponsoring this video!

Are you raising capital for your startup?

Other crowdfunded companies we've covered:

--

Crowdfunding is an option to raise capital, to fund your company, but for the longest time, it has come with a reputation: if going to VCs or angel investors fails, then crowdfunding is a plan B. And this has been mostly true since IndieGogo first popularized it in 2008.

But the landscape is changing. With some new legislation, new companies, and investors taking a new interest in it - and the numbers confirm that it’s now more popular than ever.

So in this episode of Startups 101, I want to do a quick overview of your options, how they work, and which might be best for you.
