About Robert
Robert David Kaplan is an American author specializing in politics, particularly foreign affairs, and travel. Over three decades, his work has appeared in numerous prominent publications including The Atlantic, The Washington Post, The New York Times, The New Republic, The National Interest, Foreign Affairs, and The Wall Street Journal. Kaplan is known for his influential article titled 'The Coming Anarchy' published in The Atlantic Monthly in 1994, which explores global conflicts as struggles between primitivism and civilizations. His writings frequently focus on the reemergence of cultural and historical tensions that were temporarily subdued during the Cold War. Kaplan has held several notable positions throughout his career; he was a Senior Fellow at the Center for a New American Security from 2008 to 2012 and rejoined the organization in 2015. Between 2012 and 2014, he served as chief geopolitical analyst at Stratfor, a private global forecasting firm. In 2009, he was appointed to the Defense Policy Board by Secretary of Defense Robert Gates. Recognized as a leading thinker, Kaplan was named one of the world's top 100 global thinkers by Foreign Policy magazine in 2011 and 2012. He joined Eurasia Group as a senior advisor in 2017 and was appointed the Robert Strausz-Hupé Chair in Geopolitics at the Foreign Policy Research Institute in 2020. In 2026, he was named a Distinguished Senior Lecturer at the University of Texas at Austin.

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.
