About Chris
Chris Austin Hadfield is a retired Royal Canadian Air Force colonel, test pilot, and Canadian Space Agency astronaut. He served in the Canadian Armed Forces for 25 years as a fighter pilot before transitioning to a career in space exploration. Hadfield is notable for being the first Canadian to perform extravehicular activity in outer space, and he has flown two Space Shuttle missions as well as a mission aboard Soyuz TMA-07M to the International Space Station. He also served as the commander of the ISS during Expedition 35, where he was responsible for a crew of five astronauts and oversaw numerous scientific experiments focused on the impacts of low gravity on human biology. His spaceflight experiences include flights on STS-74 in 1995, STS-100 in 2001, and a third mission in December 2012. During his time aboard the ISS, he documented life in space through photography and social media, gained media popularity for his musical performance in space, and participated in interviews on various television programs. Hadfield has authored five books, including his autobiography, which is a bestseller. His early interest in space was inspired by witnessing the Apollo 11 Moon landing as a child. He holds an engineering degree from the Royal Military College, a master's degree in aviation systems from the University of Tennessee Space Institute, and has trained extensively in flying various aircraft types. After retiring in 2013, Hadfield has continued to be a prominent figure in science communication and literature.

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.
