About Anas

Anas Sarwar is a Scottish Labour and Co-operative politician who has served as the Leader of the Scottish Labour Party since 2021. He has represented Glasgow as a regional member of the Scottish Parliament since 2016 and previously served as the Member of Parliament for Glasgow Central from 2010 to 2015. Born in Glasgow to Pakistani Muslim parents, Sarwar was educated at Hutchesons' Grammar School and studied general dentistry at the University of Glasgow. He practiced as a dentist in Paisley before being elected to Parliament. In 2010, he succeeded his father, Mohammad Sarwar, as MP for Glasgow Central. During his time in the House of Commons, he served as Deputy Leader of the Scottish Labour Party from 2011 to 2014. After losing his seat in the 2015 general election to the Scottish National Party, he was elected to the Scottish Parliament via the Glasgow regional list in 2016. Sarwar ran for Scottish Labour leader in 2017 but was defeated by Richard Leonard. He was elected leader in 2021 and led the party into the Scottish Parliament election, which resulted in the party remaining in opposition. He ran again in the 2026 Scottish Parliament election, standing for Glasgow Cathcart and Pollok, but was defeated by SNP's Zen Ghani; however, he was re-elected on the Glasgow regional list. Sarwar has publicly called for Prime Minister Keir Starmer to resign amid the Peter Mandelson scandal, having previously supported Starmer during the 2024 UK general election.

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.
