About Samantha
Samantha Jane Power is an Irish-American journalist, diplomat, and government official who has served as the United States Ambassador to the United Nations from 2013 to 2017 and as the Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development from 2021 to 2025. She began her career as a war correspondent covering the Yugoslav Wars before transitioning into academic administration. In 1998, she became the founding executive director of the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at Harvard Kennedy School, where she later served as the first Anna Lindh Professor of Practice of Global Leadership and Public Policy until 2009. Power was a senior adviser to Senator Barack Obama until March 2008 and joined his transition team in late 2008. She served as Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Multilateral Affairs and Human Rights on the National Security Council from 2009 to 2013. In April 2012, she was appointed to chair the Atrocities Prevention Board. During her tenure as United Nations ambassador, her office addressed issues including UN reform, women's rights, LGBT rights, religious freedom, refugees, human trafficking, and democracy across regions such as the Middle East, North Africa, Sudan, and Myanmar. A vocal advocate for U.S. military intervention to prevent atrocities, she was a key figure in persuading administration decisions on intervention in Libya. Power is featured in the 2014 documentary Watchers of the Sky and authored the Pulitzer Prize-winning book A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide. She has received several honors, including the Barnard Medal of Distinction and the Henry A. Kissinger Prize, and has been recognized as one of the most powerful women in the world by Forbes.

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.
