About Sam
Sam Forstag was born on May 23, 1994, and is an American labor union leader and former smokejumper affiliated with the Montana US Forest Service. Raised mainly by a single mother who worked as an ICU nurse in Portland, Oregon, he moved to Montana in 2012. Forstag attended the University of Montana, where he studied philosophy and political science and was elected student body president. After graduating in 2017, he worked as a wildland firefighter for eight years, including four years as a smokejumper, to pay off student loans. During the off-seasons, he served as an organizer and lobbyist for the Montana chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union and for Central House Strategies, representing the city of Missoula. In 2025, he became Vice President of the National Federation of Federal Employees Local 60, representing around 800 United States Forest Service workers. Forstag is the Democratic nominee in the 2026 election for Montana's 1st Congressional District seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, where he will compete against Republican and Libertarian candidates. His campaign emphasizes protecting public land and addressing economic issues such as housing and healthcare affordability. He has received endorsements from union groups, national progressive leaders including Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and his aunt, Representative Susie Lee.

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.
