About Avi
Avram David Avi Lewis, born in May 1967, is a Canadian journalist, filmmaker, professor, activist, and politician affiliated with Canada's New Democratic Party. He began his career in broadcasting, hosting programs for Citytv, CBC News, and Al Jazeera English, including The NewMusic, CounterSpin, On the Map with Avi Lewis, The Big Picture with Avi Lewis, and Fault Lines. In collaboration with his wife Naomi Klein, he directed the documentaries The Take and This Changes Everything. Lewis has also served as an associate professor at the University of British Columbia and as a lecturer at Rutgers University, engaging in academic and media work related to social and political issues. His political involvement started with the publication of the Leap Manifesto in 2015, which he contributed to alongside Klein and other activists. He subsequently ran as a federal candidate for the NDP in the 2021 and 2025 elections, finishing third in both campaigns. In March 2026, Lewis was elected leader of the New Democratic Party, securing 56 percent of the vote on the first ballot, and has been serving in that role since. Throughout his career, Lewis has combined media, academic, and political pursuits to advocate for progressive policies and social change in Canada.

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.
