About David
David Luke is a professor in practice and strategic director at the Firoz Lalji Institute for Africa at the London School of Economics. His role involves leading research and initiatives related to African studies within the LSE framework. As part of his academic work, he engages with issues pertinent to Africa and contributes to the institute's scholarly activities. Prior to his current position, Luke was a scholar of German literature at Christ Church, Oxford, where he gained recognition for his translations of notable authors including Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Thomas Mann, Heinrich von Kleist, Eduard Mörike, Adalbert Stifter, and the Brothers Grimm. His translation of Goethe's Faust earned him the European Poetry Translation Prize in 1989. In 2000, he received a medal of honour from the German-British Forum for his contributions to cultural relations between the United Kingdom and Germany. His translation work is noted for capturing Goethe's complex meanings and philosophical nuances, and has been praised for its faithfulness to the text's conflicts and contradictions. Luke described translation as the 'art of the least intolerable sacrifice,' highlighting his nuanced approach to the craft. Known for his love of Wagner's music and his friendships with prominent literary figures such as W. H. Auden and Iris Murdoch, Luke's career reflects a deep engagement with both literary and cultural exchange.

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.
