About Kathrine
Kathrine Virginia Switzer, born January 5, 1947, is an American marathon runner, author, and television commentator. She is known for becoming the first woman to run the Boston Marathon as an officially registered competitor in 1967. Running under the name K.V. Switzer, she entered the race alongside her trainer Arnie Briggs and her boyfriend Thomas Miller. During her run, race manager Jock Semple attempted to forcibly remove her by grabbing her bib number, and when Briggs intervened, he was knocked down. Miller then pushed Semple to the ground to protect Switzer, allowing her to complete the race. The incident was captured in photographs and reported internationally. Her participation prompted a response from the Amateur Athletic Union, which banned women from competing against men, although women had not previously been explicitly prohibited. In 1972, women were officially allowed to run the Boston Marathon, and Switzer finished third in that race. She was presented with a trophy by Semple, acknowledging her achievement and role in advancing women's participation in marathon running.

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.
