Grammarly is on a roll. The popular auto-editing software tool has raised $200 million from Baillie Gifford and other investors at a $13 billion valuation.

In this episode of Startup Insider, Vin Narayanan and Andy Gordon discuss the evolution of spell check, Grammarly’s freemium model, boring ways to make money and more.
