About Curtis
Curtis Anthony Sliwa, born on March 26, 1954, is an American politician, activist, and radio talk show host based in New York City. He is the founder and chief executive officer of the Guardian Angels, a nonprofit organization dedicated to crime prevention. Sliwa established the group in 1977 initially as 'The Magnificent 13,' to patrol the Bronx and the New York City Subway during a period of rising crime rates. The organization was re-founded in 1979 as the Guardian Angels and has since expanded to operate in fourteen countries across over 130 cities, focusing on crime prevention, self-defense training, youth mentoring, and outreach to the homeless. Sliwa has been active internationally and domestically, leading the organization for several decades. In addition to his activism, Sliwa has been a radio talk show host on various New York City stations, beginning in 1990 on WABC-AM. His broadcasts have often focused on current affairs from a conservative perspective, sometimes utilizing shock jock humor. Sliwa has been a prominent figure in New York politics, running twice as the Republican nominee for mayor of the city, in 2021 and 2025, both times unsuccessfully. He positions himself as a populist and outsider, emphasizing issues such as law and order, public safety, poverty, and homelessness, and he has expressed support for tax cuts. Sliwa has also engaged in protests and civil disobedience concerning crime and immigration issues, resulting in at least 75 arrests. He cites former governor Pataki as a mentor and has been endorsed by several New York politicians.

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.
