About Henry
Henry Oliver was a Royal Navy officer who achieved the rank of Admiral of the Fleet. Throughout his career, he served in various prominent roles, including commanding officer of the cruiser HMS Achilles and the battleship HMS Thunderer. He was the first commanding officer of the navigation school HMS Mercury in the early 20th century and later became Director of the Intelligence Division at the Admiralty. During the Second Boer War, he served as a navigating officer on a cruiser operating on the Cape of Good Hope and the West Coast of Africa Station. During World War I, Oliver was deployed to Antwerp, where he coordinated efforts with Belgian support to destroy the engine rooms of 38 stranded German merchant vessels. He became Naval Secretary to Winston Churchill, First Lord of the Admiralty, and subsequently served as chief of the Admiralty War Staff and Deputy Chief of the Naval Staff. In these capacities, he was closely involved in directing the Allied forces at the Battle of Jutland. He also commanded the 1st Battlecruiser Squadron in the Grand Fleet during the final year of the war. After the war, Oliver held commands of the 2nd Battle Squadron, the Home Fleet, and the Reserve Fleet. His later appointments included Second Sea Lord and Chief of Naval Personnel, where he oversaw significant expenditure reductions and naval disarmament following international treaties. His last role was as commander-in-chief of the Atlantic Fleet before his retirement.

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.
