About Markus
Markus Alexej Persson, known as Notch, is a Swedish video game programmer and designer born on June 1, 1979. He is recognized for creating Minecraft, which became the best-selling video game in history. Persson founded Mojang Studios in 2009, the same year he published an early version of Minecraft that sold over four million copies before its official release in 2011. Following this success, he stepped down as the lead designer and handed creative control to Jens Bergensten. In September 2014, Persson announced his intention to leave Mojang; the company was subsequently sold to Microsoft in November 2014 for approximately US$2.5 billion, making him a billionaire. Since 2016, Persson has made several controversial posts on Twitter concerning feminism, race, and transgender rights. These comments have contributed to his reputation as a polarizing figure. Microsoft has distanced itself from Persson in relation to Minecraft, removing mentions of his name from the game and excluding him from its tenth anniversary celebration. In 2015, he co-founded a game studio called Rubberbrain, which was rebranded in 2024 as Bitshift Entertainment.

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.
