About Pete
Peter Paul Montgomery Buttigieg is an American politician and former naval officer who served as the 19th United States secretary of transportation from 2021 to 2025. A member of the Democratic Party, he previously served as the 32nd mayor of South Bend, Indiana, from 2012 to 2020. During his tenure as mayor, Buttigieg was known as 'Mayor Pete.' He is a graduate of Harvard College and the University of Oxford, attending the latter as a Rhodes Scholar. Buttigieg worked at McKinsey & Company from 2007 to 2010 and served as an intelligence officer in the United States Navy Reserve from 2009 to 2017, including a seven-month deployment to Afghanistan in 2014. Before his election as mayor, he was involved in Democratic political campaigns and ran unsuccessfully for Indiana state treasurer in 2010. In 2015, he publicly came out as gay, and he married Chasten Glezman, a schoolteacher and writer, in June 2018. Buttigieg sought the Democratic nomination for president in 2020, making history as the first openly gay man to run in a major party's primary and the first openly gay candidate to win a presidential caucus or primary with his victory in Iowa. After dropping out and endorsing Joe Biden, Buttigieg was nominated by Biden to serve as Secretary of Transportation. His confirmation made him the first openly gay Cabinet secretary in U.S. history. At age 38, he was also the youngest person to hold a Cabinet position in the Biden administration.

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.
