About Jim
Jim Thompson is an adjunct professor at Temple's School of Business. While primarily known for his work in academia, he shares a name with James Myers Thompson, an American novelist and screenwriter celebrated for his contributions to hardboiled crime fiction. Thompson authored over 30 novels, mostly published as original paperbacks from the late 1940s through the mid-1950s. His literary work gained recognition posthumously, with several novels being re-published in the 1980s as part of the Black Lizard series. Notable works include The Killer Inside Me, Savage Night, A Hell of a Woman, and Pop. 1280, which are distinguished by their complex structure, unreliable narrators, and surrealistic storytelling that elevated the crime genre to a form of literature and art. Thompson's stories often explore raw and harrowing themes and have inspired adaptations such as The Getaway and The Grifters. His style has been characterized as intense and unflinching, with Ronald Verlin Cassill describing it as the most harrowing in crime fiction, and Stephen King praising Thompson's fearless approach to storytelling. Film director Stephen Frears acknowledged the elements of Greek tragedy within Thompson's themes. Despite limited recognition during his lifetime, Thompson's literary reputation has grown, and he is regarded as an influential figure whose work pushed the boundaries of crime literature.

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.
