About Jimmy
Jimmy Lai is a Hong Kong businessman, politician, and advocate for democracy and human rights. He is the founder of the clothing retailer Giordano, the media company Next Digital, and the newspaper Apple Daily. Lai has contributed significantly to Hong Kong's pro-democracy movement, particularly supporting the Democratic Party. Since becoming a British citizen in 1994, he has been a prominent critic of the Chinese Communist Party and a vocal supporter of press freedom in Hong Kong. Under his leadership, Apple Daily was recognized for its openness in criticizing the Chinese government and became the territory's most popular pro-democracy publication. Lai has faced various acts of intimidation, including assaults and petrol bomb attacks, reflecting the tensions surrounding his activism. His efforts to promote democracy have led to his arrest under Hong Kong's national security law in August 2020. He was subsequently sentenced to 20 years in prison, a decision that has been widely criticized by human rights organizations and media advocacy groups. As of September 2025, Lai remains imprisoned in solitary confinement at Hong Kong's Stanley Prison, which he requested for personal reasons. Despite his imprisonment, Lai views his incarceration as a significant milestone in his life. His dedication to press freedom has been recognized through several awards, including the Freedom of Press Award from Reporters Without Borders and the Gwen Ifill Press Freedom Award from the Committee to Protect Journalists. Additionally, Lai was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2022 for his commitment to defending his and others' freedoms.

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.
