About John
Alfonso John Romero, born on October 28, 1967, is an American and Irish video game developer recognized for his significant contributions to the gaming industry. He co-founded id Software and played a key role in designing several influential early games, including Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Doom II, Hexen, and Quake. Alongside programming techniques developed by programmer John Carmack, Romero's designs helped popularize the first-person shooter genre and introduced the term 'deathmatch' to describe multiplayer gameplay. Following disputes with Carmack, Romero was dismissed from id Software in 1996 and subsequently co-founded Ion Storm, where he directed the game Daikatana. The game was a critical and commercial failure, leading to Romero's departure from Ion Storm in 2001. Later that year, he co-founded Monkeystone Games with Tom Hall, focusing on mobile device games. In 2003, Romero joined Midway Games as project lead for Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows, which was released in 2005 shortly after he left the company. He founded Gazillion Entertainment in 2005 and continued to work on new projects. In 2016, Romero and Adrian Carmack announced a new first-person shooter titled Blackroom, but it was ultimately cancelled after failing to secure a publisher.

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.
