About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Blackwell (1821–1910) was an English-American physician recognized as the first woman to earn a medical degree in the United States and the first woman on the Medical Register of the General Medical Council in the United Kingdom. Her career was marked by her role as a social reformer and a pioneer in advancing education for women in medicine. Initially working as a schoolteacher to support her family, Blackwell’s interest in medicine emerged after a friend's illness led her to consider the importance of female doctors. Facing widespread prejudice, she was rejected from most medical schools, except Geneva Medical College in New York, where she gained acceptance through an unconventional vote by male students, initially as a joke. Blackwell became the first female student at an American medical school in 1847. She graduated in 1849, publishing the first medical article by a female student in the United States, which emphasized empathy and social justice. In 1857, she co-founded the New York Infirmary for Women and Children with her sister Emily Blackwell and later contributed to medical education for women, establishing clinical programs and advocating for women’s participation in medicine. Her influence extended internationally, as she helped establish the London School of Medicine for Women in 1874 after returning to England. Blackwell's legacy includes her pioneering contributions to medicine and her efforts to promote education and opportunities for women in the field.

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.
