About Cenk
Cenk Kadir Uygur is a Turkish-American political activist, commentator, and media host known for his progressive views. He was born in Istanbul on March 21, 1970, and moved to the United States in 1978. Uygur briefly worked as an associate attorney in 1996 before founding and hosting The Young Turks in 2002, a progressive and left-wing populist news and commentary program. He has also contributed as a political commentator, working with MSNBC in 2011 and appearing on a weeknight show on Current TV from 2011 to 2013. In addition to his media career, Uygur co-founded Justice Democrats, a progressive political action committee, in 2017. He has been involved in electoral politics and ran in the 2020 nonpartisan primary for California's 25th congressional district, where he was a Democratic candidate. His candidacy drew controversy due to comments about women and minority groups, which he stated were taken out of context. Uygur finished fourth overall and second among Democrats in that election, receiving between six and seven percent of the vote. In October 2023, he announced his candidacy for the 2024 Democratic Party presidential primaries to pressure President Biden to withdraw from the race, although he is not a natural-born U.S. citizen and suspended his campaign in March 2024.

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.
