About Wendy
Wendy Carlos, born Walter Carlos on November 14, 1939, is an American musician and composer recognized for her work in electronic music and film scores. She studied physics and music at Brown University before moving to New York City in 1962 to pursue music composition at Columbia University. During her time at Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center, Carlos collaborated with electronic musicians and technicians, contributing to the development of the Moog synthesizer, Robert Moog's first commercially available keyboard instrument. She gained prominence with her 1968 album Switched-On Bach, featuring music by Johann Sebastian Bach performed on a Moog synthesizer. The album was instrumental in popularizing synthesizers in the 1970s and earned her three Grammy Awards. Her success with synthesized classical music extended through several albums, as well as experimental and ambient compositions. Carlos composed scores for notable films including A Clockwork Orange (1971) and The Shining (1980) directed by Stanley Kubrick, and for Tron (1982) produced by Walt Disney. In 1979, she publicly disclosed her gender identity, revealing that she had been living as a woman since at least 1968 and had undergone gender-affirming surgery in 1972. As of 2020, much of her discography remains out of print and has not been made available on digital streaming or download platforms.

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.
