About Mike
Mike Kim is a business consultant, author, keynote speaker, and nonprofit founder born on December 11, 1976. He is recognized as a personal branding expert and has authored works that explore complex humanitarian issues. Between 2003 and 2006, Kim lived at the China–North Korea border, where he founded Crossing Borders, a nonprofit dedicated to providing humanitarian assistance to North Korean refugees. His experiences during this period culminated in the publication of Escaping North Korea: Defiance and Hope in the World’s Most Repressive Country. This memoir, which was featured in the Wall Street Journal, details his efforts to assist North Korean refugees and victims of human trafficking through Asia’s modern underground railroad. The book, published in 2008 by Rowman & Littlefield and later acquired by Bloomsbury, has been translated into Turkish and Polish. Kim’s work combines his expertise in business with his commitment to humanitarian causes, making him a notable figure in both fields.

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.
