About Bill
William Felton Russell was an American professional basketball player known for his tenure with the Boston Celtics in the National Basketball Association from 1956 to 1969. As a center, Russell was a key figure in the Celtics dynasty, which secured 11 NBA championships during his 13-year career. He played college basketball for the San Francisco Dons, leading them to consecutive NCAA championships in 1955 and 1956 and earning the title of NCAA tournament Most Outstanding Player. Russell also captained the gold medal-winning U.S. national basketball team at the 1956 Summer Olympics. Drafted second overall in the 1956 NBA draft by the St. Louis Hawks, he was traded to the Celtics, where he became their defensive anchor and a dominant force in rebounding and shot-blocking. His defensive skills contributed significantly to the Celtics' record of eight consecutive championships from 1959 to 1966. Russell was a five-time NBA Most Valuable Player and a 12-time NBA All-Star. Standing 6 feet 10 inches tall with a 7-foot-4-inch arm span, he led the league in rebounds four times and held second place in all-time rebounds. Beyond his playing career, Russell served as player-coach for the Celtics, becoming the first black NBA coach to win a championship. He later coached the Seattle SuperSonics and Sacramento Kings, and contributed as a commentator and author. Russell received numerous honors including induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and the establishment of the NBA Finals MVP Award in his name. His impact extended beyond sports into civil rights, culminating in the Presidential Medal of Freedom awarded in 2011. After his death in 2022, the NBA retired his jersey number league-wide.

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.
