About Jake
Jake Shimabukuro, born on November 3, 1976, is an American ukulele player and composer from Hawaii. He is recognized for his fast, complex finger work and a musical style that merges elements of jazz, blues, funk, rock, bluegrass, classical, folk, and flamenco. Shimabukuro has composed numerous original pieces, including soundtracks for two Japanese films, Hula Girls in 2007 and Sideways in 2009, which is a Japanese remake of a film of the same name. During his early solo career in the early 2000s, he gained recognition in Hawai'i and Japan. His international fame surged in 2006 after a video of him performing a virtuosic rendition of While My Guitar Gently Weeps was posted on YouTube without his knowledge and became one of the platform's first viral videos. This exposure led to increased concert engagements, collaborations with prominent musicians, media appearances, and expanded music production activities. In 2012, an award-winning documentary titled Jake Shimabukuro: Life on Four Strings was released, documenting his life, career, and musical journey. The film has been featured in various festivals, aired repeatedly on PBS, and released on DVD, further cementing his reputation as a significant figure in contemporary acoustic music.

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.
