About David
David Graeber was an American anthropologist and activist recognized for his contributions to social and economic anthropology as well as his engagement in social justice movements. Born in New York City to a working-class family, he studied at Purchase College and the University of Chicago, where he earned his doctorate in 1996 after conducting ethnographic research in Madagascar. Graeber held academic positions at Yale University until 2005, when his contract was not renewed, leading to his move to the United Kingdom. There, he served as a lecturer and reader at Goldsmiths' College and later as a professor at the London School of Economics. His scholarly work covered a range of topics including theories of value, social hierarchy, and the ethnography of Madagascar. He gained prominence with the publication of Debt: The First 5000 Years in 2011, a comprehensive analysis of the historical role of debt in social institutions, and authored several other influential books including The Utopia of Rules, Bullshit Jobs, and The Dawn of Everything. Graeber was also well known for criticizing bureaucracy and managerialism in capitalism. His activism was rooted in radical left politics, with involvement in the 1990s global justice movement, protests against the 3rd Summit of the Americas, and the World Economic Forum. As a leading figure in the Occupy Wall Street movement, he helped popularize the slogan

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.
