About William
William Wilberforce (24 August 1759 – 29 July 1833) was a British politician, philanthropist, and a leading advocate for the abolition of the Atlantic slave trade. Originating from Kingston upon Hull, Yorkshire, he began his political career in 1780 and served as an independent Member of Parliament for Yorkshire from 1784 to 1812. His conversion to evangelical Anglicanism in 1785 marked a turning point in his life, inspiring him to pursue social and moral reforms. In 1787, Wilberforce collaborated with activists such as Thomas Clarkson, Granville Sharp, Hannah More, and Charles Middleton to campaign against the transatlantic slave trade, making him a prominent figure in the abolition movement. He led the parliamentary effort to end the slave trade for two decades until the passage of the Slave Trade Act in 1807. Wilberforce was also passionate about religion, morality, and education; he supported initiatives such as the Society for the Suppression of Vice, British missionary work in India, the creation of Sierra Leone as a free colony, and founded organizations including the Church Mission Society and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Though his conservative views led him to endorse some repressive legislation, he is most remembered for his persistent work towards the complete abolition of slavery. After resigning from Parliament in 1826 due to health reasons, he continued his efforts, contributing to the passage of the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833, which abolished slavery in most of the British Empire. Wilberforce died shortly after hearing the act's passage was assured and was buried in Westminster Abbey.

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.
