About Helena
Helena Norberg-Hodge, born on January 10, 1946, is an environmentalist, author, and filmmaker. She is the founder and director of Local Futures, a non-profit organization dedicated to revitalizing cultural and biological diversity and strengthening local communities and economies worldwide. Norberg-Hodge is known for pioneering the Localization movement and is an outspoken critic of economic globalization. She authored the international best-selling book Ancient Futures in 1991, which explores themes of tradition and change in the Himalayan region of Ladakh, and in 2019, published Local is Our Future, advocating for localized alternatives such as robust local food systems and democratic structures to counteract globalization and authoritarianism. She co-founded the International Forum on Globalization in 1994, alongside notable figures including Jerry Mander, Doug Tompkins, Vandana Shiva, and Martin Khor. In 2014, she established the International Alliance for Localization. Norberg-Hodge produced and co-directed the award-winning documentary The Economics of Happiness in 2011, which presents her arguments against globalization and for localization. She initiated World Localization Day, a global online event aimed at promoting localization efforts. Her work has been recognized with several awards, including the Right Livelihood Award in 1986 for her efforts in preserving Ladakh’s culture against tourism and development, and the Goi Peace Award in 2012 for her pioneering contributions to the localization movement.

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.
