About Alex
Alex Lifeson, born Aleksandar Živojinović on August 27, 1953, is a Canadian musician best known as the guitarist for the rock band Rush. He co-founded the band in 1968 along with drummer John Rutsey and bassist and lead vocalist Jeff Jones. After Jeff Jones was replaced by Geddy Lee shortly after formation, and Neil Peart succeeded Rutsey in 1974, Lifeson remained a constant member throughout the band's history until its initial dissolution in 2015. The band later reformed in 2025 with Anika Nilles as a live drummer. Lifeson is the only member of Rush to have participated throughout its entire existence and, alongside Lee, the only member to appear on all of the band's albums. Throughout his career with Rush, Lifeson played a variety of instruments including electric and acoustic guitars, mandola, mandolin, and bouzouki. He also provided backing vocals and occasionally played keyboards and bass pedal synthesizers. The band was recognized for its achievements when they became Officers of the Order of Canada in 1996, the first rock band to receive this honor. In 2013, Rush was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Lifeson has been ranked 98th on Rolling Stone's list of the greatest guitarists of all time and ranked third in a Guitar World poll. Beyond Rush, he released a solo album titled Victor in 1996 and formed the band Envy of None following Neil Peart’s death in 2020. Lifeson's pursuits extend beyond music; he has been a painter, a licensed aircraft pilot, an actor, and was a part-owner of The Orbit Room in Toronto until it closed in 2020.

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?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
