About Steven
Steven Pinker is a Canadian cognitive psychologist, psycholinguist, and popular science author who is a professor at Harvard University. He specializes in visual cognition and developmental linguistics, conducting experimental research in these areas. Pinker has contributed to the field through the development of theories on language acquisition, notably proposing that children use default rules and learn irregular forms individually. As an author, he has written nine books for general audiences including The Language Instinct, How the Mind Works, Words and Rules, The Blank Slate, The Stuff of Thought, The Sense of Style, The Better Angels of Our Nature, Enlightenment Now, and Rationality. His works explore topics such as the innate nature of language, the historical decline of violence, the overall improvement of human conditions, and the importance of reason and science in contemporary society. Pinker has received numerous recognitions and awards from organizations including the American Psychological Association, the National Academy of Sciences, and the Royal Institution. He was named one of Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the World in 2004 and has appeared multiple times on Foreign Policy's list of Top 100 Global Thinkers. Additionally, Pinker has served on editorial and advisory boards for various scientific journals and institutions. He held the position of chair of the Usage Panel of the American Heritage Dictionary from 2008 to 2018, reflecting his influence and standing in the field of language and cognitive science.

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.
