About Kal
Kalpen Suresh Modi, known professionally as Kal Penn, is an American actor, author, and former White House staff member in the Barack Obama administration. Born on April 23, 1977, he has portrayed characters such as Kumar Patel in the Harold & Kumar film series, Lawrence Kutner on the television program House, Seth Wright on Designated Survivor, and Kevin in How I Met Your Mother. Penn also appeared in the film The Namesake and served as a visiting lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania in the Cinema Studies Program. In April 2009, he joined the Obama administration as an associate director in the White House Office of Public Engagement, where he was a liaison for outreach to Asian Pacific Americans and arts communities. This role led to his character in House being written out of the series. He briefly left his White House position in June 2010 to film Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas and returned afterward. In July 2011, Penn departed again to accept a role on How I Met Your Mother. From 2016 to 2019, he played Seth Wright on Designated Survivor, also serving as a consultant for the show. Additional projects include hosting the game show Superhuman and portraying Garrett Modi in the 2019 NBC sitcom Sunnyside. In 2020, he hosted the political talk miniseries Kal Penn Approves This Message.

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.
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, plus $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.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Every new individual account gets 7 days of everything with no card: 50 pitch credits and up to 5 contacts a day. After that it moves to the Free plan: 5 pitch credits a month and your top 10 matches. You can build campaigns on Free; launching one needs a paid plan.
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.
