About Pete
Peter Brian Hegseth, born June 6, 1980, is an American government official and the 29th United States secretary of defense since 2025. He has a background in politics, having studied at Princeton University where he was the publisher of the conservative student newspaper The Princeton Tory. Hegseth served as an infantry officer in the Minnesota Army National Guard, with deployments at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base and in Iraq and Afghanistan. After leaving active duty, he worked for organizations such as Vets For Freedom and Concerned Veterans for America, serving as an executive director. He became a contributor to Fox News in 2014 and supported President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign before serving as an advisor. From 2017 to 2024, Hegseth co-hosted Fox & Friends Weekend and authored multiple books including American Crusade and The War on Warriors. In November 2024, President-elect Trump nominated him for the role of secretary of defense. His confirmation by the Senate faced controversy, including allegations of misconduct, but he was ultimately confirmed after a tie-breaking vote by Vice President JD Vance. Hegseth is noted as the second-youngest secretary of defense in U.S. history. During his tenure, he has been a contentious figure, facing criticism over issues such as leaked government communications, alleged war crimes, promoting Christianity within the military, and decisions related to military operations and rules of engagement in the 2026 Iran war.

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.
