About Alex
Alexander Nowrasteh is an American analyst of immigration policy working at the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank based in Washington D C. He is known for his advocacy of increased migration to the United States and describes himself as a radical supporter of open borders to and from the country. Previously, he served as an immigration policy analyst at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, another libertarian organization. Nowrasteh has authored multiple peer-reviewed studies on immigration and has co-authored the book Wretched Refuse The Political Economy of Immigration and Institutions with Benjamin Powell. His insights into immigration policy have gained recognition; in January 2013, ABC News listed him as the fifteenth top immigration expert to follow on Twitter in the United States. The following month, The National Journal featured him in a piece titled The Libertarian Case that included an interview and discussion of immigration issues. His views have drawn criticism from conservative circles. Nowrasteh's work emphasizes the economic and policy aspects of immigration and advocates for policies aligned with open borders.

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.
