About Jay
Jay Bhattacharya is an American health economist and physician trained in economics at Stanford University. He has served as the director of the National Institutes of Health since 2025 and also assumed the role of acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2026. Bhattacharya was a professor of medicine, economics, and health research policy at Stanford University until March 2025, when he became an emeritus professor to join the NIH. His research has focused on the economics of health care, and he was an investigator at Stanford's Center for Demography and Economics of Health and Aging. In November 2024, he was nominated by President Donald Trump for the NIH directorship and was confirmed by the Senate in March 2025. Bhattacharya is notable for being the first Indian American to lead the NIH. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he was known for opposing the lockdowns and mask mandates implemented in 2020. He co-authored the Great Barrington Declaration alongside Martin Kulldorff and Sunetra Gupta, which argued for lifting restrictions on lower-risk populations to develop herd immunity through infection, while claiming that vulnerable individuals could be protected from the virus.

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.
