Send us Fan Mail Join Rachann Mayer and Kaitlyn Harless, the Mid-Atlantic Regional Science Coordinator of The American Chestnut Foundation, as they discuss the American Chestnut Tree that once dominated forests throughout the Appalachian Range stretching from Maine to Georgia. Valued as a major cash crop for its lumber and abundant nuts, this species played a vital role in the biology and ecology of eastern North American forests. Then a devastating blight arrived on imported Chinese Chestnut trees, girdling mature trees and transforming one of America's most important forest giants into an endangered species. The American Chestnut Foundation's mission is clear - To restore surviving American Chestnuts and rebuild the environment that once relied on this iconic tree.

Send us Fan Mail Step inside a thriving greenhouse operation with 25-acres under cover, where horticulture, people, and precision come together to provide locally grown plants and flowers that are distributed throughout the East Coast. In this podcast, Rachann catches up with Tyler Van Wingerden, CEO of Catoctin Mountain Growers, five years later. Tyler talks about how e-commerce and customer feedback changed their distribution model, and how advanced irrigation systems promote stewardship and conservation of valuable resources.

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.
