About Mike
Mike Thorne, born on 25 January 1948, is an English author and growth mentor with a background rooted in music production and engineering. Originally a musician who began playing the piano at age 10, Thorne pursued studies in physics at Hertford College, Oxford, during the late 1960s. His early career included working as a tape operator in London, where he collaborated with bands such as Deep Purple. Transitioning into the music industry, Thorne served as a music journalist and A&R representative before establishing himself as a record producer in the late 1970s. Throughout his production career, he has worked across various genres including punk, post-punk, jazz fusion, and pop, producing albums for notable artists such as Roger Daltrey, John Cale, Bronski Beat, Soft Cell, Nina Hagen, Laurie Anderson, The Reds, and Soft Machine. His significant contributions include producing the first three albums by the band Wire, namely Pink Flag, Chairs Missing, and 154.

Additionally, he contributed electronic elements to Michael Tippett's opera New Year. Leveraging his extensive experience in creative industries, Thorne has transitioned into roles focused on authoring and mentoring within the growth and development space.

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.
