About Ian
Ian Michael Redmond OBE FZS FLS, born on 11 April 1954, is a tropical field biologist and conservationist noted for his work with mountain gorillas and elephants. He has been involved in over 50 documentaries on these subjects for organizations such as the BBC, National Geographic, and the Discovery Channel. Redmond participated in the 1988 film Gorillas in the Mist, working alongside Sigourney Weaver to help her understand her character. Early in his career, he worked as a junior researcher with Dian Fossey and took part in filming David Attenborough's encounter with mountain gorillas in Rwanda. He recounts this event in a BBC tribute program celebrating Attenborough's 90th birthday. Redmond played a key role in conservation efforts following the death of the gorilla Digit in 1978; he discovered Digit's body and later became chairman and trustee of The Gorilla Organization, formerly known as the Digit Fund. He has participated in fundraising events for the charity, including the Great Gorilla Run. Redmond also established the African Elephant Fund after discovering the body of an elephant he named Charles and led campaigns such as Elefriends to combat the ivory trade. He has served as ambassador for the United Nations' Year of the Gorilla and for the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals. Additionally, he is an advisor to various conservation organizations, chairs the Ape Alliance, founded the UK Rhino Group, and helped launch the UNEP/UNESCO Great Apes Survival Partnership. Recently, he co-founded Rebalance Earth, a capital investment firm focused on treating nature as investible infrastructure.

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.
