About Marshall
Marshall Herff Applewhite Jr. was an American religious leader and the founder of the Heaven's Gate new religious movement. He was born on May 17, 1931, and died on March 24, 1997. Applewhite initially pursued a career in education, attending several universities and serving in the United States Army. He resigned from the University of St. Thomas in Houston, Texas, in 1970 after an inappropriate relationship with a male student. His father's death in 1971 led to severe depression. In 1972, he formed a close partnership with Bonnie Nettles, a nurse, with whom he discussed mysticism extensively. They believed they were divine messengers and traveled across the United States starting in 1973 to spread their teachings. During this period, Applewhite operated a bookstore and teaching center. He was briefly jailed in 1974 for failing to return a rental car, after which he further developed his theological ideas. Applewhite and Nettles told their followers they would be visited by extraterrestrials and believed their bodies were merely human containers for their souls. Over time, their beliefs incorporated elements from Christian eschatology, the New Age movement, and popular culture. After Nettles's death in 1985, Applewhite faced a crisis of faith but continued to promote his teachings. He and his followers believed that an approaching comet, Hale–Bopp, harbored a spacecraft that would take their spirits to another planet. In 1997, Applewhite and his followers committed mass suicide, the largest in the United States, which drew significant media attention and academic discussion regarding his influence and manipulative skills.

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.
