About Kevin
Kevin Michael Rudd, born on 21 September 1957, is an Australian diplomat and former politician who has served as the ambassador of Australia to the United States from 2023 to 2026. Rudd has a background in Chinese studies, graduating with honours from the Australian National University in 1981, and is fluent in Mandarin. Before entering politics, he worked as a diplomat and public servant for the Queensland state government of Wayne Goss. Elected to the Australian House of Representatives in 1998 representing the Queensland division of Griffith, Rudd rose to prominence as Shadow Minister for Foreign Affairs in 2001. He became the leader of the Labor Party in December 2006 after defeating Kim Beazley and led the party to a landslide victory in the 2007 federal election. During his first term as prime minister, his government ratified the Kyoto Protocol, delivered a national apology to Indigenous Australians for the Stolen Generations, and responded effectively to the 2008 financial crisis by implementing stimulus packages. His administration also initiated major programs including the Digital Education Revolution, the Building the Education Revolution, the establishment of the National Broadband Network, and withdrew Australian troops from Iraq. Leadership challenges within the Labor Party led to his resignation in 2010, after which Julia Gillard succeeded him. Rudd served as Minister for Foreign Affairs under Gillard before challenging her for party leadership again and returning briefly to the prime ministership in 2013. After leaving parliament, he has remained active in political discourse and academia, including completing a DPhil at Jesus College, Oxford, in 2022. His involvement in international organizations has focused on issues such as China–United States relations and Australian media diversity.

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.
