About Bill
William H. Payne, born on March 12, 1949, is an American musician distinguished for his work as a pianist and keyboardist, as well as his involvement in rock and blues genres. He is recognized for his barrelhouse blues piano and his proficiency on the Hammond B3 organ. Payne co-founded the American rock band Little Feat with Lowell George and remains the sole living original member as of 2025. His songwriting credits include the track 'Oh, Atlanta.' Throughout his career, Payne has collaborated with numerous artists including J. J. Cale, Jimmy Buffett, the Doobie Brothers, Emmylou Harris, Bryan Adams, Pink Floyd, Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne, Carly Simon, James Taylor, Bonnie Raitt, Stevie Nicks, and others. He contributed as a guest performer on Bonnie Raitt's 1977 album Sweet Forgiveness, which he also wrote the track 'Takin' My Time.' Payne has performed live with various acts, notably playing several concerts with Phil Lesh and Friends between October 1999 and July 2000. From 2014 to December 2015, he was a member of the Boulder-based band Leftover Salmon. In August 2015, he was selected to play keyboards for The Doobie Brothers during a period when their designated keyboardist, Guy Allison, was unavailable. He later rejoined the band as a touring member in December 2015, appearing with them on the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and performing with Michael McDonald. His touring tenure with the band ended in early September 2015 after a concert at the BB&T Pavilion in Camden, New Jersey.

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.
