About Aliko
Aliko Mohammad Dangote, born on April 10, 1957, is a Nigerian businessman recognized for his significant roles in the Dangote Group and the Dangote Refinery. In 2011, he was appointed to the economic management team by President Goodluck Jonathan. As of May 2026, Dangote is regarded as the 62nd wealthiest individual globally, the wealthiest person in Africa, and the richest Black individual in the world, with a net worth estimated at over 36.8 billion U.S. dollars according to Bloomberg. He founded the Dangote Group in 1977, initially establishing a small trading company that imported sugar, salt, and food products. In 1981, he expanded with Dangote Nigeria Limited and Blue Star Services, focusing on importing rice and bulk materials such as steel and aluminum. Responding to high demand for cement in Nigeria, Dangote founded Dangote Cement, which has grown to become a major player in the industry, with revenues of approximately 3.7 billion U.S. dollars as of 2023. The Dangote Sugar Refinery has also become one of the largest sugar producers in Nigeria and Africa. Beyond his business pursuits, Dangote has been a prominent political figure in Africa and influential in shaping Nigeria's economy. He was awarded the Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger in 2011 and was included in Time magazine's list of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2014.

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.
