How to sell your Grammarly stock

Grammarly rebranded to Superhuman in late 2025 after merging with Coda and Superhuman Mail — which leaves a lot of holders asking “what do I even hold now?” The short answer: the same equity, in the same company, under a new name. Here’s the detail, and the tax.

Status Privately held · Reviewed November 2026

Grammarly — now operating as Superhuman after its late-2025 rebrand — is a private US software company (AI writing and productivity). It’s still private as of November 2026, last broadly valued around $13 billion (2021). This guide is for the Grammarly/Superhuman holder.

Name change (Oct 2025). Grammarly rebranded to Superhuman after merging with Coda and Superhuman Mail. It’s the same company you hold equity in — now operating as Superhuman. A rebrand doesn’t change your grant terms, but check which entity name appears on your equity documents. (Reported by TechCrunch and BuiltIn, Oct 2025.)

What you actually hold at Grammarly

Your equity is typically stock options and, for later grants, RSUs. Options you exercise into shares; RSUs settle on a liquidity event or set date. The rebrand to Superhuman and the mergers with Coda and Superhuman Mail don’t change your grant terms by themselves — but you should check which legal entity name is on your documents, and your vested amount, strike and settlement terms.

How Grammarly equity turns into cash

The company is private, with no open market. Liquidity would come through any company tender/buyback or a private secondary subject to its transfer rules (right of first refusal, company approval). The rebrand doesn’t create a new way to sell — so plan around whatever windows the company offers.

The decision you’re probably facing

A rebrand changes the name, not your grant. Don’t over-read the Superhuman rebrand: your options or RSUs are the same instrument in the same company. The real questions are the usual ones — what it’s worth, whether you can sell, and the tax of exercising — just make sure your paperwork reflects the current entity.

The practical steps: confirm what you hold and under which entity name, value it at the latest mark, and model the tax of exercising or settling.

The tax reality (US)

Most US startup equity is taxed one of two ways. RSUs are ordinary income when they settle (on a liquidity event or set date), with employer withholding that can fall short at higher incomes; later gains are capital gains. Options cost the strike to exercise and, for ISOs, can trigger AMT — use the ISO/AMT calculator. Selling in a tender or secondary is a capital-gains event on any rise since you acquired the shares. Full method in our methodology.

What to expect on price

A tender has a set price; a private secondary to an outside buyer usually happens at a discount to the last headline valuation — because the buyer takes an illiquid minority stake, and you likely hold common shares worth less than investors’ preferred. See what discount is fair.
