About Fannie
Fannie Lou Hamer was an American voting and women's rights activist, community organizer, and leader of the civil rights movement. She served as vice-chair of the Freedom Democratic Party and represented it at the 1964 Democratic National Convention. Hamer played a significant role in organizing Mississippi's Freedom Summer alongside the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. She was a co-founder of the National Women's Political Caucus, an organization dedicated to recruiting, training, and supporting women of all races seeking political office. Beginning her civil rights activism in 1962, she dedicated nearly a decade to fighting for racial equality and voting rights until her health declined. Known for her use of spiritual hymns and biblical quotes, she demonstrated resilience in leading efforts for Black women in Mississippi amidst threats, harassment, assaults, and violence from racists, including law enforcement officials. Hamer actively encouraged thousands of Black residents in Mississippi to register to vote and supported disenfranchised individuals through initiatives such as the Freedom Farm Cooperative. She ran for the U.S. House of Representatives in 1964 but was defeated, and she also campaigned for the Mississippi State Senate in 1971. In 1970, she led legal actions against the government of Sunflower County for ongoing illegal segregation. Hamer died in 1977 at the age of 59, and her memorial service was attended by many, with U.S. Ambassador Andrew Young delivering the eulogy. She was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2025 and was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 1993.

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.
