About Martin
Martin Cooper, born on December 26, 1928, is an American engineer recognized as a pioneer in the wireless communications industry. He has made notable contributions to radio spectrum management and holds eleven patents in the field. In 1973, Cooper made history by placing the first public call from a handheld portable cell phone while working at Motorola, establishing a significant milestone in telecommunications history. He repeated this achievement the same year by leading the team that redeveloped and introduced the handheld cellular mobile phone to the market in 1983. Known as the "father of the handheld cell phone," Cooper’s work has been influential in the development of mobile communication technology, and he received the 2015 IEEE Masaru Ibuka Consumer Electronics Award for his contributions. Besides his pioneering work in telecommunications, Cooper is a co-founder of numerous communication companies alongside his wife and business partner, Arlene Harris. He is the co-founder and current Chairman of Dyna LLC, based in Del Mar, California. Additionally, Cooper contributes to industry standards and policy by sitting on committees supporting the U.S. Federal Communications Commission and the United States Department of Commerce. His leadership in creating and deploying the cellular portable hand-held telephone was recognized in 2010 when he was elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering.

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.
