About Paul
Paul Franklin Watson is the founder and director of the National Innovation Centre for Data. A Canadian-American citizen, Watson has been involved in environmental activism since his teenage years. His early activism included participation in protests against nuclear testing and crewing on board Greenpeace ships. Although he was an early member of Greenpeace, he was ousted from the organization in 1977 due to disagreements over the use of direct action tactics. Following his departure from Greenpeace, Watson established the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, an organization focused on marine conservation activism through direct action. Watson promotes strategies aimed at defending marine life and ecosystems and is an advocate of biocentrism. His activism has led to numerous legal challenges in various countries; he has been detained and arrested multiple times but has not been convicted of a felony. Watson has also faced international extradition requests, notably from Japan and Costa Rica, with Interpol red notices issued in connection with these allegations. After periods of detention and exile, he currently resides in Paris, where he engages in writing, lecturing, and coordinating marine campaigns to oppose illegal whaling and deep-sea mining. He has established his own foundation, the Captain Paul Watson Foundation, following a separation from Sea Shepherd. His activities continue to draw international attention, and his efforts have contributed to ongoing discussions around marine conservation and activism.

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.
