About Jason
Jason De León is an anthropologist specializing in the study of migration from Latin America to the United States, with a focus on clandestine migrants crossing the Mexico–United States border. He holds the Loyd E. Cotsen Endowed Chair of Archaeology and serves as the Director of the Cotsen Institute of Archaeology at the University of California, Los Angeles. In addition to his academic roles, De León is a professor of Anthropology, Chicana/o Studies, and Central American Studies at UCLA. He is also the Executive Director of the Undocumented Migration Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to documenting and raising awareness about global migration issues through research, arts, and education. Since 2009, De León has conducted extensive fieldwork in the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, where he collects artifacts left behind by migrants seeking entry into the United States. His work has gained recognition, including being named a National Geographic Emerging Explorer in 2013 and a MacArthur Fellow in 2017. The Undocumented Migration Project has amassed over 9000 objects related to migration, some of which are displayed at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History. His research contributes valuable insights into migration patterns and the material culture associated with border-crossing experiences.

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.
