About Merlin
Merlin Devere Tuttle, born on August 26, 1941, is an American ecologist, conservationist, writer, and wildlife photographer with a focus on bat ecology, behavior, and conservation. He is recognized for protecting the Austin Congress Avenue Bridge bat colony from extermination and is the founder and executive director of Merlin Tuttle's Bat Conservation in Austin, Texas. Tuttle also founded Bat Conservation International, retired from that organization in 2009, and contributed to establishing the National Park of American Samoa. His research includes studies on gray bat population ecology, migration, and frog-eating bats such as Trachops cirrhosus. He has contributed extensively to wildlife photography, with his images featured in numerous National Geographic Society publications, including collections like 100 Best Pictures and 100 Years of Adventure and Discovery. In 2002, Tuttle's photographs were used in a commemorative stamp series issued by the United States Postal Service. He served as science editor and photographer for the Smithsonian Books publication BATS: an illustrated guide to all species in 2019. Tuttle's work has earned him accolades such as the Gerritt S. Miller Jr. Award and recognition from the Texas State House of Representatives. In 2015, he published a memoir titled The Secret Lives of Bats: My Adventures With the World's Most Misunderstood Mammals, detailing his experiences in bat conservation and research.

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.
