About Slavoj
Slavoj Žižek is a Slovenian philosopher, cultural theorist, and public intellectual, born on 21 March 1949. He has held numerous academic positions, including being a Global Distinguished Professor of German at New York University and a professor of philosophy and psychoanalysis at the European Graduate School. Additionally, he is a senior researcher at the Institute for Sociology and Philosophy at the University of Ljubljana. From 2004 until September 2025, Žižek served as the international director of the Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities at the University of London. His work focuses on continental philosophy, particularly Hegelianism, psychoanalysis, and Marxism, alongside political theory, film criticism, and theology. He is affiliated with the Ljubljana School of Psychoanalysis, a group of Slovenian scholars working on German idealism, Lacanian psychoanalysis, ideology critique, and media analysis. Žižek's first book in English, The Sublime Object of Ideology, published in 1989, helped introduce the Ljubljana School's thought to an English-speaking audience. An accomplished author, he has written over 50 books in multiple languages and is fluent in Slovene, Serbo-Croatian, English, German, and French. Known for his distinctive public style, Žižek's appearances and writings often include obscene jokes, pop cultural references, and provocative political commentary, which have garnered both fame and criticism within and outside academic circles.

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.
