About Bill
William John Pulte, born on May 28, 1988, is an American businessman and government official. He has served as the acting director of national intelligence since June 2026. Prior to this appointment, Pulte held the position of director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency and served as the chairman of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac beginning in 2025. He is the grandson of William J. Pulte, the founder of PulteGroup, a residential home construction company. Pulte studied broadcast journalism at Northwestern University. In 2011, he founded Pulte Capital, a private equity firm, and in 2015 started The Blight Authority, a nonprofit organization focused on clearing empty homes. He was appointed to PulteGroup's board in 2016 amid a leadership dispute and served a four-year term. The dispute led to his departure from the board. Pulte became active on Twitter in 2019, using the platform for philanthropic efforts. In January 2025, President-elect Donald Trump announced Pulte's nomination for director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, and he was confirmed by the Senate in March of that year. During his tenure, he appointed himself as chairman of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Starting in April 2025, Pulte publicly accused various individuals, including political figures and Federal Reserve members, of mortgage fraud, which led to legal disputes and efforts to remove certain officials. In June 2026, President Trump appointed Pulte as the acting director of national intelligence to succeed Tulsi Gabbard.

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.
