About Herbie

Herbert Jeffrey Hancock, born on April 12, 1940, is an American jazz musician, bandleader, and composer. He began his career with trumpeter Donald Byrd's group and quickly gained recognition as a member of the Miles Davis Quintet. During his time with Davis, Hancock contributed to redefining the role of the jazz rhythm section and was a key architect of the post-bop sound. In the 1970s, he explored jazz fusion, funk, and electronic styles, incorporating synthesizers and electronic music into his work. This period includes the release of his influential album Head Hunters. Hancock's compositions such as Cantaloupe Island, Watermelon Man, Maiden Voyage, and Chameleon are considered jazz standards. His 1980s work includes the electronic instrumental hit Rockit, created in collaboration with bassist and producer Bill Laswell. Over his career, Hancock has received numerous awards, including an Academy Award and 14 Grammy Awards. His Grammy recognition includes Album of the Year for his 2007 album River: The Joni Letters, a tribute to Joni Mitchell. In 2024, he was ranked as the greatest keyboard player of all time by Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph. He was awarded the Polar Music Prize in 2025. Since 2012, Hancock has taught at the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music as a professor and serves as chairman of the Herbie Hancock Institute of Jazz, formerly known as the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz.

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.
