About Jean-Claude
Jean-Claude Camille François Van Varenberg, known professionally as Jean-Claude Van Damme, is a Belgian martial artist and actor born in Brussels. Enrolled in a Shotokan karate school at age ten by his father, he achieved the rank of 2nd Dan in karate and competed in numerous karate and kickboxing competitions. As a teenager, Van Damme won the middleweight championship of the European Professional Karate Association in 1979 and the Mr. Belgium bodybuilding title in 1978. He moved to the United States in 1982 with ambitions of becoming a Hollywood actor. After working on several films, he gained prominence with his leading role in the martial arts film Bloodsport in 1988. This launch established him as a popular action star, with successful films such as Cyborg, Kickboxer, Lionheart, Death Warrant, Double Impact, Universal Soldier, and others throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s. During this period, he attained sex symbol status and collaborated with notable Hong Kong filmmakers like John Woo, Tsui Hark, and Ringo Lam. Following a decline in popularity at the turn of the century, Van Damme experienced a career resurgence with his critically acclaimed portrayal of a fictionalized version of himself in JCVD in 2008. He returned to action roles with appearances like The Expendables 2 in 2012 and continued working in film and voice roles, including Minions: The Rise of Gru and Darkness of Man. His work has grossed over 3.3 billion dollars worldwide, establishing him as one of the most successful action stars of all time. Beyond his acting career, he has been involved in conservationist and animal rights causes.

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.
