About Marco
Marco Polo (circa 1254 – 8 January 1324) was a Venetian merchant, explorer, and writer known for his extensive travels through Asia along the Silk Road between 1271 and 1295. His journeys are detailed in The Travels of Marco Polo, also known as the Book of the Marvels of the World and Il Milione, which provided Europeans with their first comprehensive insight into the cultures and societies of regions such as China, Persia, India, and Japan. Born in Venice, Marco Polo learned the mercantile trade from his father and uncle, Niccolò and Maffeo, who had traveled through Asia and met Kublai Khan. In 1269, the three set out together on a journey to Asia, reaching the Yuan dynasty's court where Polo gained the favor of Kublai Khan. He served as a foreign emissary, undertaking diplomatic missions within the empire and Southeast Asia, and lived in China for 17 years during which he observed many previously unknown customs and artifacts. Around 1291, the Polos traveled overland to Persia and later returned to Venice after a 24-year absence, during which Marco participated in Venice's war with Genoa. While imprisoned by the Genoese, he dictated his accounts of travel to Rustichello da Pisa. After his release, Marco Polo became a wealthy merchant, married, and fathered three children. His writings influenced European understanding of Asia's geography, cultures, and innovations such as porcelain and gunpowder, and inspired subsequent explorers and cartographers.

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.
