About Kazuo
Sir Kazuo Ishiguro is a Japanese-British novelist, screenwriter, musician, and short-story writer born in Nagasaki, Japan. He moved to Britain with his parents in 1960 when he was five years old. Ishiguro is recognized as one of the most critically acclaimed contemporary fiction authors writing in English and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2017. The Swedish Academy cited him for his novels of great emotional force that have uncovered the abyss beneath the illusion of human connection. His early works, including A Pale View of Hills and An Artist of the Floating World, examined Japanese identity and were noted for their mournful tone. Over time, Ishiguro has expanded his thematic scope to include science fiction and historical fiction, while maintaining a focus on themes such as the outsider's perspective, the quest for an unattainable truth, and the fragile nature of recent history. He has been nominated for the Booker Prize four times and won in 1989 for The Remains of the Day, which was later adapted into a film. Time magazine named his novel Never Let Me Go as the best novel of 2005 and one of the 100 best English-language novels published between 1923 and 2005. Additionally, Ishiguro was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for the 2022 film Living.

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.
