About J.
J. Robert Oppenheimer was an American theoretical physicist known for his role as the scientific director of the Manhattan Project during World War II. He led the Los Alamos Laboratory in New Mexico, overseeing the development of the first nuclear weapons. Born in New York City, Oppenheimer earned a degree in chemistry from Harvard University in 1925 and obtained a doctorate in physics from the University of Göttingen in Germany in 1927. His research included significant contributions to quantum mechanics and nuclear physics, such as the Born–Oppenheimer approximation for molecular wave functions, and work on positrons, quantum electrodynamics, and quantum field theory. Alongside his students, he advanced astrophysics, developing theories on cosmic ray showers, neutron stars, and black holes. In 1941, Oppenheimer was briefed on nuclear weapon design and was recruited to work on the Manhattan Project in 1942. He was appointed director of the Los Alamos Laboratory in 1943 and played a crucial role in the project's success. He was present at the Trinity test on July 16, 1945, the first detonation of an atomic bomb. The bombs were later dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. After the war, Oppenheimer served as director of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and chaired the General Advisory Committee of the United States Atomic Energy Commission. He advocated for international control of nuclear technology and opposed the development of the hydrogen bomb. His stances and past associations led to a security hearing during the Second Red Scare, resulting in the revocation of his security clearance in 1954. He continued to contribute to physics until his death in 1967, receiving the Enrico Fermi Award in 1963.

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.
