About Bob
Robert Keith Rae, born August 2, 1948, is a Canadian politician and diplomat who served as the 80th President of the United Nations Economic and Social Council. He was appointed to this role in July 2020 by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and served until November 2025. Rae has held various significant positions throughout his career, including serving as the Canadian Ambassador to the United Nations from 2020 to 2025. His diplomatic career also includes his role as Canada's special envoy to Myanmar from October 2017 to April 2018 and advising Prime Minister Trudeau on the Rohingya crisis. A seasoned politician, Rae served as the 21st premier of Ontario from 1990 to 1995, leading the Ontario New Democratic Party from 1982 to 1996. During his tenure as premier, Rae initiated policies such as the Social Contract Act, which were unpopular with traditional NDP supporters, and his government faced defeat in the 1995 provincial election. Rae also served in federal politics, initially as a Member of Parliament from 1978 to 1982, and later as interim leader of the Liberal Party of Canada from 2011 to 2013. He was involved in leadership races for the Liberal Party in 2006 and 2009. Additionally, Rae has been active as a legal partner specializing in representing Aboriginal clients and holds positions as an advisor to Canada's Ecofiscal Commission and as a Senior Fellow at the Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights. Since December 2025, he has served as the Visitor of Massey College.

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.
