About Eric
Eric Swanson is a visibility expert, international speaker, and bestselling author. He is affiliated with Third Space Planning. Swanson has held prominent roles in the financial regulatory sector, including working at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission from 1996 to 2006. During his tenure at the SEC, he rose to the position of Assistant Director of the Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations. Following his time at the SEC, he served as Vice President of Regulatory Strategy at Ameriprise Financial. Currently, he is the Senior Vice President, General Counsel, and Secretary of BATS Global Markets, which is the third-largest stock exchange in the United States. Swanson's background is marked by extensive experience in financial regulation and compliance. He is also known for his personal connections to high-profile financial scandals; he married Shana Madoff, who worked as a rules and compliance officer and attorney at her uncle Bernard Madoff's firm. The firm was shut down following the uncovering of the Madoff investment scandal, a large-scale Ponzi scheme. Swanson initially met Shana Madoff while conducting SEC examinations related to Bernard Madoff's firm, investigations that failed to detect the fraud until it was publicly revealed.

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.
