About David
David Bahnsen is an American portfolio manager, economist, author, and television commentator. He is the founder and Chief Investment Officer of The Bahnsen Group and serves as a senior fellow at the National Review Institute. Bahnsen has contributed to publications such as Forbes, National Review, and Commentary. His political and economic views are characterized as conservative and classic liberalist, with an emphasis on free market policies including lower corporate tax rates and reduced regulation. He is a Christian, the son of Christian apologist Greg Bahnsen, and believes that work holds inherent dignity and purpose, which he grounds in his Christian understanding of vocation. Before his career in finance, Bahnsen managed artists in the Christian music industry, notably signing the Christian ska band The O.C. Supertones to Tooth & Nail Records. He trained as a financial advisor and worked at Morgan Stanley for eight years, achieving recognition as a top advisor before founding his own firm in 2014. In 2025, he was ranked as the top financial advisor in California by Forbes and as a top 100 advisor nationwide by Barron's. Bahnsen has been involved in shareholder activism campaigns, notably criticizing JPMorgan Chase for allegedly discriminatory debanking based on religious or political views. His advocacy led to increased scrutiny from regulators and policymakers, with Chase subsequently updating its anti-discrimination policies. His work often reflects a combination of financial expertise, conservative political positions, and a commitment to Christian principles.

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.
