About Assata
Assata Olugbala Shakur, born JoAnne Deborah Byron on July 16, 1947, was an American political activist, revolutionary, and fugitive associated with the Black Liberation Army. She was involved with the Black Panther Party before becoming a member of the BLA. Shakur was convicted in 1977 of first degree murder for her role in a 1973 shootout on the New Jersey Turnpike, in which a New Jersey State Trooper was killed. She maintained that she did not fire the shots that resulted in the trooper's death, asserting that her right arm had been injured during the confrontation. Shakur was sentenced to life plus additional years. While serving her sentence at the Clinton Correctional Facility for Women in New Jersey, she escaped in 1979 with assistance from BLA members and the May 19th Communist Organization. She was granted political asylum in Cuba in 1984, where she resided until her death. Shakur was wanted by the FBI with a reward of one million dollars for her capture and was placed on the FBI Most Wanted Terrorists list in 2013 under the name Joanne Deborah Chesimard, making her the first woman to be listed. She remained a fugitive for 45 years before passing away on September 25, 2025, at the age of 78, according to the Cuban Foreign Ministry. Shakur's life was marked by her activism, her controversial legal history, and her enduring status as a fugitive.

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.
