About Hector
Hector Hughes (14 August 1887 – 23 June 1970) was a Scottish Labour Party politician who served as Member of Parliament for Aberdeen North from 1945 until his retirement in 1970. During his political career, he was elected in the Labour landslide and was re-elected through six subsequent general elections. Hughes was also active in various social causes; he fought for women's rights within the suffragette movement and advocated for the abolition of the death penalty. His contributions extended beyond politics as he was a published poet and authored the national anthem for Ghana at the time of its independence. Hughes began his political engagement during his university years at University College Dublin where he was involved with the Young Ireland Branch of the United Irish League. His advocacy work included campaigns for land redistribution to tenants. Hughes passed away in Brighton at the age of 82, shortly after retiring from the House of Commons and following the 1970 general election which resulted in a Conservative Party victory. Apart from his public service, he was recognized as an esteemed poet and a significant figure in various social and political movements. Hughes was the great-grandfather to Paul Walsh and Tonie Walsh, and grandfather to Sylvia Walsh, Denise Casey, Mark Quinn, Clem Quinn, and Benita Quinn Ahearne in Ireland. He was also the father of actress Isolde Hughes Cazelet and Finny Hughes McMullan.

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.
