About Claudette
Claudette Colvin was an American nurse aide and civil rights activist known for her role in challenging bus segregation in Montgomery, Alabama. On March 2, 1955, at the age of 15, she was arrested for refusing to give up her seat to a white woman on a crowded, segregated bus. This incident occurred nine months before Rosa Parks' more widely recognized act of defiance that helped spark the Montgomery bus boycott. Colvin was one of four plaintiffs in the first federal court case against bus segregation, Browder v. Gayle, filed on February 1, 1956, by civil rights attorney Fred Gray. She testified before a United States district court, which ruled that laws enforcing bus segregation were unconstitutional. This decision was upheld by the United States Supreme Court in November 1956, leading to the end of segregation on public transportation in Montgomery. Despite her significant contribution to the civil rights movement, Montgomery's black leaders did not initially promote Colvin's efforts. Her circumstances at the time, being unmarried and pregnant, led to her case being overlooked and dropped by civil rights campaigners, who feared negative publicity. Colvin later reflected that her actions were a precursor to Rosa Parks’ more famous protest and that her story was often overlooked due to her personal circumstances. In 2021, the record of her arrest and related charges was expunged by the district court in the county where the charges had been filed, acknowledging her early role in challenging segregation.

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.
