About Helen
Helen Elizabeth Clark, born on 26 February 1950, is a New Zealand politician and diplomat. She served as the 37th prime minister of New Zealand from 1999 to 2008, becoming the second woman to hold that office and the country's fifth-longest-serving prime minister. Clark's political career began after she entered the University of Auckland in 1968, studying politics and becoming active in the New Zealand Labour Party. Following her graduation, she lectured in political studies at the university and entered local politics in 1974, although she was not elected to any position at that time. She was elected to Parliament in 1981 as the member for Mount Albert, a position she held until 2009. During her tenure in government, Clark held several Cabinet positions, including minister of housing, health, and conservation, and served as the 11th deputy prime minister from 1989 to 1990. As leader of the Labour Party, which she assumed after challenging the incumbent in 1993, she navigated the party through multiple electoral victories. As prime minister, she led several economic initiatives such as the establishment of Kiwibank, the New Zealand Superannuation Fund, and the implementation of the Emissions Trading Scheme and KiwiSaver. Her government also introduced the controversial Foreshore and Seabed Act 2004. Clark was active in foreign affairs, sending troops to Afghanistan and East Timor, and advocating free-trade agreements including the first with China. After her political career, she served as the administrator of the United Nations Development Programme from 2009 until 2017. During her time at the UNDP, she was also a candidate for the United Nations secretary-general position in 2016.

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.
