About Wangari
Wangari Maathai was a Kenyan social, environmental, and political activist renowned for founding the Green Belt Movement, an organization dedicated to planting trees, environmental conservation, and promoting women's rights. Her efforts in ecological activism and mass reforestation earned her the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004, making her the first African woman to receive this honor. Maathai was a beneficiary of the Kennedy Airlift and obtained her bachelor's degree from Mount St. Scholastica College in Kansas, followed by a master's degree from the University of Pittsburgh. She also became the first woman in East and Central Africa to earn a Doctor of Philosophy degree, receiving her Ph.D. from the University of Nairobi. Her activism and advocacy extended into politics; she was an elected member of the Kenyan parliament and served as the assistant minister for environment and natural resources from 2003 to 2005 under President Mwai Kibaki. In addition to her political roles, Maathai was an academic and author of several books. Her intellectual contributions addressed issues related to ecology, development, gender, African cultures, and religions. Maathai received the Right Livelihood Award in 1984 for transforming ecological debates in Kenya into widespread actions for reforestation. She was also an Honorary Councillor in the World Future Council. Wangari Maathai passed away from complications related to ovarian cancer in September 2011.

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.
