About Martin
Martin F. Porter is an author and notable figure in the field of information retrieval and computational linguistics. He is the inventor of the Porter Stemmer, a widely used algorithm for stemming English words, and the Snowball programming framework. His 1980 paper titled 'An algorithm for suffix stripping' introduced the stemming algorithm and has been extensively cited, reflecting its influence in the field. Porter's research at the University of Cambridge led to the development of the Muscat search engine, which was commercialized in 1984 and later evolved into Xapian, an open-source project initiated by Porter and a group of developers in 2002. His contributions to the domain earned him the Tony Kent Strix award in 2000. Porter's academic background includes studying mathematics at St John's College, Cambridge, followed by a Diploma in Computer Science and a PhD from the Cambridge Computer Laboratory. His professional career has seen roles at the University of Leeds, the Cambridge Literary and Linguistic Computing Centre, and the Sedgwick Museum. He served as the Director of the Museum Documentation Advisory Unit and has been involved in technology entrepreneurship as a co-founder of Grapeshot, a company specializing in contextual targeting and content recommendation. Grapeshot, where Porter held the position of Chief Scientist, was acquired by Oracle Corporation in 2018. Throughout his career, Porter has contributed significantly to computational linguistics, information retrieval, and search engine development.

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.
