About Bayard
Bayard Rustin was an American political activist and a prominent leader in social movements advocating for civil rights, socialism, nonviolence, and gay rights. He played a key role in organizing the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom and collaborated with A. Philip Randolph on the March on Washington Movement in 1941 to push for the end of racial discrimination in the military and defense industries. Rustin also organized the Freedom Rides and helped to establish the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, mentoring Martin Luther King Jr. on nonviolent resistance. In 1954, he worked alongside Ella Baker on the Crusade for Citizenship and was involved in efforts to assist those threatened by eviction in tenant farms. As head of the AFL-CIO's A. Philip Randolph Institute, Rustin promoted union integration and the unionization of African Americans. During the 1970s and 1980s, he participated in humanitarian missions supporting refugees from Vietnam and Cambodia. A gay man, Rustin often worked behind the scenes due to criticism of his sexuality but later became a public advocate for gay causes. In his later years, he adopted neoconservative views, opposing racial quotas and Black studies programs as leader of Social Democrats USA. Rustin occasionally contributed to Commentary magazine and was recognized for his work with a posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom awarded by President Barack Obama. A nonprofit organization, the Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice, was established in 2018 in Princeton, New Jersey, to honor his legacy and serve marginalized communities including LGBTQIA+ youth.

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.
