About Geoffrey
Geoffrey Everest Hinton is a British-Canadian computer scientist, cognitive scientist, and cognitive psychologist renowned for his pioneering work on artificial neural networks. His research and contributions have earned him the title of 'the Godfather of AI' and the 2018 Turing Award, which he shared with Yoshua Bengio and Yann LeCun for their work on deep learning. Hinton is also a Nobel Prize laureate in Physics, awarded in 2024 alongside John Hopfield for foundational discoveries related to machine learning with artificial neural networks. He is a University Professor Emeritus at the University of Toronto and has been affiliated with Google Brain, where he worked from 2013 until his departure in May 2023. During his career, Hinton co-authored a highly influential 1986 paper with David Rumelhart and Ronald J. Williams that popularized the backpropagation algorithm for training multi-layer neural networks. His collaborative work on the AlexNet architecture, developed with students Alex Krizhevsky and Ilya Sutskever, marked a milestone in computer vision by significantly advancing image recognition technology during the ImageNet challenge in 2012. Hinton played a foundational role in the deep learning community and co-founded the Vector Institute in Toronto in 2017, serving as its chief scientific advisor. Following his departure from Google, he has openly expressed concerns about the risks posed by artificial intelligence, including potential misuse, technological unemployment, and existential threats from artificial general intelligence. He advocates for cooperative safety guidelines and emphasizes the urgency of research in AI safety to manage systems that could surpass human intelligence.

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.
