About Hedy
Hedy Lamarr was an Austrian and American actress and inventor, born Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler. She initially pursued a film career in Czechoslovakia, gaining recognition for her role in the controversial film Ecstasy in 1933. After fleeing her first husband Friedrich Mandl, she moved secretly to Paris and later traveled to London, where she met Louis B. Mayer. He offered her a contract in Hollywood, leading to her becoming a successful film star. Lamarr's notable films include Algiers, Boom Town, White Cargo, and Samson and Delilah. She achieved significant recognition in the entertainment industry and was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1960. Beyond her acting career, Lamarr co-invented a radio guidance system during World War II with composer George Antheil. This system employed spread spectrum and frequency hopping technology to counteract radio jamming by Axis powers, aiming to provide secure, jam-resistant communication for Allied torpedoes. This concept, known as a secret communication system, laid the groundwork for technologies used in secure wireless communications today. Although the specific system was not operational during the war and the patent expired before widespread adoption, the principles of frequency hopping became foundational for spread spectrum communications. These principles are now integral to modern wireless technologies such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, which use similar methods to protect data from interception and interference.

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.
