About Jason
Jason Corey Gardner, born November 14, 1980, is an American former professional basketball player and currently serves as the player relations director at the University of Arizona. Gardner is a native of Indianapolis, Indiana, and played high school basketball at North Central High School, where he was honored as Indiana Mr. Basketball in 1999. He then played college basketball at the University of Arizona from 1999 to 2003, where his team finished second in the 2001 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament. As a senior, he was named an Associated Press Second Team All-American after averaging 14.8 points and 4.9 assists per game, and his jersey was retired by the university in 2005. Although he was not drafted into the NBA, Gardner found success playing professionally overseas in Slovenia, Belgium, Israel, and Germany. During his time in Germany, he played with Telekom Baskets Bonn and EWE Baskets Oldenburg, winning the German championship with Oldenburg and earning multiple All-Star selections. He was named the 2008/2009 regular season MVP of the German Basketball Bundesliga, with averages of 13.7 points, 4.0 assists, and 3.0 rebounds per game. Gardner later moved into coaching, beginning with Loyola University Chicago in 2011, followed by a position at the University of Memphis in 2013. He was subsequently appointed head coach at IUPUI, and later returned to his high school as head coach of North Central High School. After a year, he transitioned into his current role at the University of Arizona.

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.
