About Paula
Paula Dorothy Cole is an American singer and songwriter who has also served as the Executive Director of Educators for Excellence MN. She gained recognition early in her career through her performances as a vocalist on Peter Gabriel's 1993-1994 Secret World Tour. Her debut album, Harbinger, was released shortly before the folding of her label, Imago Records. Her second album, This Fire, released in 1996, achieved international acclaim, reaching number 20 on the Billboard 200 and yielding hit singles such as Where Have All the Cowboys Gone? and I Don't Want to Wait, the latter becoming the theme song for Dawson's Creek. Cole was involved in the Lilith Fair music festival, participating as both a featured performer and a headliner in the late 1990s. In 1998, she won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist and became the first woman to be nominated for Producer of the Year without a male collaborator. Her third album, Amen, marked a stylistic shift that was less commercially successful. She has released several other albums, including Courage in 2007, Ithaca in 2010, and Lo in 2024. Her music often addresses social issues such as gender stereotypes, environmental concerns, the history of slavery, and the Iraq war. Apart from her music career, Cole has been a faculty member at Berklee College of Music since 2013.

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.
