About Tammy
Ladda Tammy Duckworth is an American politician and Army National Guard veteran serving as the junior United States senator from Illinois since 2017. She is a member of the Democratic Party and previously represented Illinois's 8th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives from 2013 to 2017. Born in Bangkok, Thailand, and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, Duckworth attended the University of Hawaii at Manoa and George Washington University. She joined the United States Army Reserve in 1992 and served as a helicopter pilot during the Iraq War. Her service was marked by a significant injury in 2004 when her Black Hawk helicopter was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade fired by Iraqi insurgents; she lost both legs and part of her right arm. Despite these injuries, she received a medical waiver to continue serving in the Illinois Army National Guard, retiring as a lieutenant colonel in 2014 after a decade of additional service. Duckworth has held various positions including director of the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs and assistant secretary for public and intergovernmental affairs at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. In 2012, she was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, and in 2016 she was elected to the U.S. Senate, defeating Republican incumbent Mark Kirk. She has been recognized for numerous firsts, including being the first Thai American woman elected to Congress, the first person born in Thailand to serve in Congress, and the first woman with a disability elected to Congress. She also is the first female double amputee in the Senate and the first senator to give birth while in office. Duckworth serves on several Senate committees including Armed Services, Commerce, Science, and Transportation, Foreign Relations, and Veterans' Affairs.

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.
