About Marcus
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus was a Roman emperor from 161 to 180 and a Stoic philosopher. He was a member of the Nerva–Antonine dynasty and is recognized as the last of the Five Good Emperors. His reign marked the end of the Pax Romana, a period of peace and stability for the Roman Empire. Marcus was the son of the praetor Marcus Annius Verus and his wife Domitia Calvilla. After his father's death when he was three years old, he was raised by his mother and paternal grandfather. His familial connections linked him to previous emperors through marriage, and following Hadrian's death in 138, Marcus was adopted by Antoninus Pius, who became emperor. During his rule, Marcus Aurelius fought in various military campaigns, including conflicts with the Parthian Empire and various Germanic tribes such as the Marcomanni, Quadi, and Iazyges. His reign also saw increased persecution of Christians and the outbreak of the Antonine Plague, which caused extensive death across the empire. Despite military and health crises, he maintained his philosophical pursuits, and his writings, notably Meditations, are regarded as essential sources on Stoic philosophy. Marcus Aurelius's leadership ended with his death in 180, after which his son Commodus succeeded him. His legacy persists through monuments such as the column and equestrian statue in Rome, commemorating his military victories. As a philosopher, his work continues to influence modern understanding of Stoic philosophy, earning admiration from subsequent generations.

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.
