For Founders
Where Founders find their Next Stage.
The booking-intelligence platform built for founders at venture-backed companies who want to land podcast appearances on the shows that actually move pipeline. Replace your retainer. Reach the rooms your investors are already in.
The thesis
Retainers price you out. DIY eats your week.
Podcasts are where your buyers and your investors already spend attention, and a founder telling their own story is the most credible guest a show can book. The problem has never been demand. It is that the two ways to get booked both fail founders. An agency retainer costs more per month than most seed-stage marketing budgets, bills whether or not placements land, and keeps the producer relationships when the contract ends.
Doing it yourself fails differently. The research is a rabbit hole, the pitch writing is a craft you learn by being ignored, and the follow-up is exactly the kind of administrative loop that founder calendars destroy. Most founder-run outreach programs do not fail; they quietly stop in week three.
The fix is not more effort. It is moving the research, drafting, and bookkeeping into a system, and keeping the judgment, your voice and your yes, with you. The full process is written up in how to get on podcasts; PitchCentric is that process, operationalized.
The workflow
Fifteen minutes a week, not a second job.
The system is built so the only work left for you is the work only you can do: deciding which rooms are worth your story.
Matches arrive daily
Shows are matched to your profile and ranked by Booking Probability, refreshed as hosts publish new episodes. You review a shortlist, not a database.
Pitches come drafted
Each pitch is grounded in the show's real recent episodes and graded before you see it. Approve, edit, or discard; nothing sends without you.
Follow-ups are handled
Sending goes through your own Gmail or Outlook, follow-ups run on schedule, and producer replies are flagged the moment they land.
The math
What it costs, next to a publicist.
An honest comparison of the two structures. Publicist terms vary by firm; the structural differences do not.
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.
How is this different from hiring a publicist?
A publicist sells hours and relationships on a retainer, typically with a multi-month minimum, and the producer relationships stay with the publicist. PitchCentric sells the system: scored shows, pitches drafted from real episodes, sending from your own Gmail or Outlook, and reply tracking, from $39 per month. You approve everything, and every relationship stays in your inbox.
How much time does it actually take?
The workflow is designed around a short weekly review: check your new matches, approve or edit the drafted pitches, and let follow-ups run on schedule. Setup is a one-time profile build. How fast bookings come depends on your topic and how consistently you send; the 15-day trial, card required, is the honest way to find out for your specific story.
Do pitches send without my approval?
No. Every pitch waits for your explicit approval before it leaves your connected inbox. You can edit the draft, change the target, or skip the show entirely. Nothing goes out without your say.
Who owns the producer relationships?
You do. Pitches send from your own Gmail or Outlook, so replies land in your inbox and the relationship accrues to you, not to a third-party booker. If you cancel, the Rolodex stays with you.
