智能语法纠错软件获1.1亿美元风投
There's money to be made from other people's mistakes: $110m (£85m) of it, to be precise.
从别人犯下的错误中也可以赚到钱。准确地说,是可以赚到大钱——1.1亿美元(约合7.59亿元人民币)。
That's the amount raised in a funding round by Grammarly, a firm that boasts of having what it calls "the world's most accurate online grammar checker".
It has persuaded venture capital firms including General Catalyst, IVP and Spark Capital to support its platform.
The eight-year-old firm, based in San Francisco, offers "mistake-free writing every time" to 6.9 million users.
The start-up was founded in 2009 by Alex Shevchenko and Max Lytvyn.
Its software uses spell-checking, proof-reading and plagiarism detection tools, scanning text for the correct use of more than 250 advanced grammar rules.
