About Curt
Curt Cignetti is an American college football coach who is the head football coach at Indiana University Bloomington. He previously served as the head coach at Indiana University of Pennsylvania from 2011 to 2016, Elon University from 2017 to 2018, and James Madison University from 2019 to 2023. Cignetti is a five-time conference coach of the year and has been recognized as a two-time national coach of the year. He is notable for being the only college football coach to start 10–0 with two different teams in consecutive seasons, achieving this milestone with James Madison University in 2023 and Indiana University in 2024. During his first season at Indiana, he earned the Big Ten Coach of the Year award after leading the Hoosiers to a program-record 11 wins and earning their first-ever College Football Playoff berth. In 2025, he was honored again as Big Ten Coach of the Year as Indiana completed the first 12–0 regular season in school history, secured their first Big Ten Conference title since 1967, and achieved their first outright title since 1945. That season culminated in Indiana winning its first national championship in program history, marking the first time an FBS team had completed a perfect 16-win season since the 1894 Yale Bulldogs. Cignetti’s successful leadership transformed Indiana from one of the losingest programs in college football history into national champions, a turnaround regarded as one of the greatest in college football and American sports history.

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.
