About Jason
Jason David Kander, born on May 4, 1981, is an American attorney, author, veteran, and former politician. He served as the 39th secretary of state of Missouri from 2013 to 2017 and was a member of the Missouri House of Representatives from 2009 to 2013. Before his political career, he served as an intelligence officer in the Army Reserve, achieving the rank of captain, and saw service in Afghanistan. In 2016, Kander was the Democratic nominee for the United States Senate in Missouri but lost to the incumbent Roy Blunt. Following the election, he founded Let America Vote, an organization dedicated to combating voter suppression. Kander was also involved in political campaigns, including a bid for Kansas City mayor in 2019, which he eventually withdrew from in 2018 due to health issues stemming from PTSD and depression related to his military service. Since 2019, he has been serving as president of national expansion at Veterans Community Project, an organization supporting homeless and at-risk veterans through initiatives such as tiny homes and supportive services. After the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan, Kander led a group of veteran volunteers in orchestrating Operation Bella, a private rescue mission to evacuate Afghan allies. The operation successfully evacuated 383 individuals by using deception techniques such as a fake wedding to outwit the Taliban. Inspired by this mission, he founded the Afghan Rescue Project, a nonprofit dedicated to evacuating Afghan allies who faced retribution from the Taliban.

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.
