About Alec
Sir Alec Guinness was an English actor born on April 2, 1914. His career began on the stage in 1934, and he gained early recognition for his Shakespearean roles. At the age of 22, he played Osric in Hamlet in the West End and joined the Old Vic company. During the Second World War, he served in the Royal Naval Reserve, commanding a landing craft during the invasions of Sicily and Elba. Guinness transitioned from theatre to film after the war, becoming renowned as part of the British cinema scene. His work in six Ealing comedies starting in 1949, including performances in A Run for Your Money and Kind Hearts and Coronets, contributed to his rising fame. He received several awards throughout his career, including an Academy Award, a BAFTA, a Golden Globe, a Tony Award, and a Volpi Cup. In 1959, he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for his services to the arts. Guinness collaborated multiple times with director David Lean, notably portraying Col. Nicholson in The Bridge on the River Kwai, a role that earned him both the Academy Award and the BAFTA Award for Best Actor. He also played Fagin in Oliver Twist, Herbert Pocket in Great Expectations, and appeared in several other notable films. His later work included playing Obi-Wan Kenobi in the original Star Wars trilogy, receiving an Academy Award nomination for the 1977 film. Guinness’s career extended into television, where he is well known for depicting George Smiley in adaptations of John le Carré's novels. He passed away on August 5, 2000.

FAQs
Every question we get asked before
someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
