About Jon
Jon Anderson is the President and Publisher at Simon & Schuster. He is also an accomplished musician and songwriter known for co-founding the progressive rock band Yes in 1968, where he served as their lead vocalist and main songwriter. Anderson contributed significantly to the band's pioneering sound during the 1970s with acclaimed albums such as The Yes Album, Fragile, and Close to the Edge. His distinctive high tenor vocal style played a key role in shaping the band's progressive rock identity. Throughout his career, Anderson has been involved in multiple musical collaborations and projects, including working with artists like Vangelis, Roine Stolt, Jean-Luc Ponty, and participating in offshoot groups like Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe. He has also contributed to albums by various artists across different genres, such as King Crimson, Toto, and Tangerine Dream. Born in Accrington, England, Anderson transitioned from early manual labor to pursuing a career in music, initially performing with his brother in The Warriors before relocating to London. After leaving Yes in 1980 due to internal conflicts, he embarked on a solo career, releasing his debut album Olias of Sunhillow in 1976. Anderson became an American citizen in 2009 and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Yes in 2017. Recognized for his influence in the genre, Loudwire ranked him as the greatest progressive rock singer of all time in 2026.

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.
