About Nicola
Nicola Ferguson Sturgeon is a Scottish politician who served as the First Minister of Scotland and Leader of the Scottish National Party from 2014 to 2023. She was a member of the Scottish Parliament from 1999 to 2026, initially representing the Glasgow electoral region and later as the member for Glasgow Southside. Born in Ayrshire, she earned a law degree from the University of Glasgow and worked as a solicitor in Glasgow before her election to Parliament. Sturgeon held various positions within the SNP, including shadow minister for education, health, and justice. She was involved in the 2004 SNP leadership election and subsequently served as depute leader alongside Alex Salmond, leading the party in the Scottish Parliament from 2004 to 2007. Following the 2007 election, the SNP emerged as the largest party and formed a minority government with Salmond as First Minister, with Sturgeon as deputy. She served as health secretary from 2007 to 2012, overseeing changes to prescription charges and managing the 2009 swine flu pandemic. After the 2011 election, she was appointed Cabinet Secretary for Infrastructure, Capital Investment and Cities, during which she was involved in the 2014 Scottish independence referendum campaign. Sturgeon became leader of the SNP unopposed in 2014, and as the first woman to hold the position, she assumed office as First Minister amid strong electoral support for the SNP. During her tenure, she led the Scottish Government through multiple elections, managed responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, and navigated ongoing independence debates. She resigned as SNP leader in 2023 citing occupational burnout and announced her intention to step down as an MSP in 2026.

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.
