About Robert
Robert Zubrin is an American aerospace engineer, author, and advocate for human exploration of Mars. He holds a PhD in nuclear engineering and is recognized for his expertise in energy. Zubrin is a member of the Mars Society, an organization he founded in 1998 to promote the goal of sending humans to Mars, preferably through private funding. He is known for his work on reducing the costs and complexities of Mars missions, notably co-developing the Mars Direct plan in 1990 with David Baker. The proposal emphasizes utilizing the Martian atmosphere to produce essential resources such as oxygen, water, and rocket fuel, making the mission more feasible and self-sufficient. A modified version of this plan has been adopted by NASA as a design reference mission. Zubrin questions the delay and cost-effectiveness of establishing bases on asteroids or the Moon, arguing that such sites cannot provide all necessary resources like oxygen, water, or energy. He advocates for Mars as the logical destination for human space exploration due to its potential to sustain human presence. As an author, Zubrin has expressed views on space dominance and the importance of space superiority in 21st-century geopolitics. His advocacy focuses on advancing space exploration, emphasizing the strategic and scientific significance of human missions to Mars.

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.
