About Zack
Zack Polanski, born David Paulden on 2 November 1982, is a British politician serving as the leader of the Green Party of England and Wales since September 2025. He has been a member of the London Assembly since May 2021 and served as the deputy leader of the Greens from 2022 to 2025. Polanski was born and raised in Salford, Greater Manchester, and studied drama at Aberystwyth University from 2003 to 2006 before attending a drama school in Atlanta, Georgia. His professional background includes work as an actor, school activity provider, and hypnotherapist. Initially joining the Liberal Democrats in 2015, Polanski ran as a candidate in local elections, including the St Pancras and Somers Town by-election to Camden London Borough Council and the 2016 London Assembly election for the Barnet and Camden constituency. He switched to the Green Party in 2017, standing in various elections such as the Lancaster Gate by-election to Westminster City Council in 2018 and the 2019 general election for the Cities of London and Westminster parliamentary constituency. His political career within the Greens has seen him elected to the London Assembly in 2021, then re-elected in 2024, and appointed deputy leader in 2022. As party leader, Polanski has overseen significant gains, including a notable by-election victory in 2026 and party membership exceeding 220,000. He led the Greens through the 2026 local elections, delivering their best results in history. Polanski has also expressed plans to run for a parliamentary seat in North London in the next general election and advocates for eco-populist policies such as linking climate issues with high living costs and supporting wealth taxes to reduce inequality.

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.
