About Michael
Michael Yang is an author known for the book Coming Alive on the Ride. He is affiliated with OMERS Ventures. Yang Hongming, commonly known as Michael Yang in the Philippines, is a Chinese businessman with close ties to Rodrigo Duterte, the 16th president of the Philippines. From 2016 to 2018, he served as Duterte's economic adviser in both informal and formal capacities, despite constitutional restrictions on holding a Philippine cabinet position. Yang has been involved in various business ventures, including establishing the Yangtze River Group, a real estate company in Davao City, and serving as chairman of the Full Win Group based in Xiamen, Fujian. He and his business partners headed Paili Holding, which constructed buildings for Philippine offshore gaming operators. Yang has been linked to the Pharmally scandal over allegedly overpriced medical supplies procured during the COVID-19 pandemic. His discreet role in the Duterte administration has drawn scrutiny and criticism, particularly regarding the proliferation of POGOs in the Philippines. He has also faced allegations involving the illegal drug trade linked to a Davao City drug syndicate, with critics suggesting a connection to Duterte's controversial drug war. Yang moved from the Philippines to the United Arab Emirates in May 2024. Throughout his career, he has maintained a presence in the business and political spheres in the region, with ongoing attention to his activities and connections.

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.
