About Chris
Christopher John Hipkins, born on 5 September 1978, is a New Zealand politician and leader of the Labour Party. He has served as the leader of the opposition since November 2023 and was the 41st prime minister of New Zealand from January to November 2023. Hipkins has been a member of Parliament for Remutaka since the 2008 general election, representing the Labour Party. Raised in the Hutt Valley in Wellington, he became actively involved in student politics while attending Victoria University of Wellington, where he was elected president of VUWSA in 2000 and 2001. Since entering Parliament, Hipkins has held multiple ministerial portfolios, including education, health, public service, police, and the leader of the House during Labour's time in government. Notably, as minister of health, he oversaw the government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and served as minister for COVID-19 response from 2020 to 2022. Following Jacinda Ardern's resignation, Hipkins was elected unopposed as leader of the Labour Party in January 2023 and was subsequently appointed prime minister. His tenure as prime minister was challenged by natural disasters, including the Auckland Anniversary Weekend floods and Cyclone Gabrielle. After Labour's defeat in the 2023 general election, Hipkins transitioned to the role of opposition leader.

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.
