About Brendan
Brendan Thomas Carr, born on January 5, 1979, is an American lawyer who has served as the chair of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) since 2025. He has been a commissioner of the FCC since 2017. Carr studied government at Georgetown University and graduated from the Columbus School of Law at the Catholic University of America in 2005. Prior to joining the FCC, he worked in private practice and served as an advisor to Commissioner Ajit Pai. After Pai became the chair of the FCC in January 2017, Carr was appointed as the commission's general counsel. In June 2017, President Donald Trump nominated Carr to serve as a commissioner of the FCC, and he initially focused on network issues. During his tenure, he publicly criticized social media companies and China over perceived authoritarian policies. Carr was involved in the development of Project 2025 and contributed a section to the Heritage Foundation's Mandate for Leadership (2023). In November 2024, President-elect Trump appointed Carr as chair of the FCC, a role he assumed following Trump's second inauguration. As chair, Carr engaged in investigations into companies' diversity, equity, and inclusion policies, and took actions related to organizational hiring practices. He played a role in the merger between Skydance Media and Paramount Global, advocating for the inclusion of an ombudsman to ensure multiple perspectives, which raised ethical concerns. Carr has also aimed to expand the FCC's mandate to promote public-interest programming and has taken controversial actions, including threatening broadcasters over certain late-night shows.

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.
