About Ian

Ian Ferguson, born on March 15, 1967, is the Vice President of Vertical Markets and Business Development at Blueprint Breakthrough. His professional background includes a distinguished career in Scottish football as both a player and a coach. Ferguson began his playing career with Clyde before moving to St Mirren in 1986, where he scored the winning goal in the 1987 Scottish Cup Final. In 1988, he transferred to Rangers and remained with the club for 12 years, aiding in their run of nine consecutive Scottish league championships and earning induction into the club's Hall of Fame. After his tenure at Rangers, he played for Dunfermline Athletic for two seasons, then emigrated to Australia, where he continued his playing career with Northern Spirit and Central Coast Mariners. Ferguson also represented Scotland at the international level, earning nine full international caps. Following his retirement from playing, he transitioned into football management, leading clubs such as North Queensland Fury, Perth Glory, Northern Fury, and Stirling Macedonia. His extensive experience in football management and playing has provided a foundation for his current role, where he focuses on vertical markets and business development.

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.
