About Billy
William Ellis Porter II, born on September 21, 1969, is an American singer, actor, writer, director, and businessperson. He gained recognition through his performances on Broadway before pursuing a solo career as a singer and actor. Porter is notably known for his role as Lola in the musical Kinky Boots, for which he received the 2013 Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical, the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Actor in a Musical, and the Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Actor in a Musical. The role was significant in helping him confront aspects of his femininity and challenge societal notions of masculinity. He also won the 2014 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album for Kinky Boots' accompanying album. Porter starred in all three seasons of the television series Pose, earning three Golden Globe nominations and winning the 2019 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series. His success in this role marked a historic moment as he was the first gay black man to be nominated for and to win an award in any lead acting category at the Primetime Emmys. In 2020, he was listed among Time magazine's 100 most influential people in the world. His work extended into film with his directorial debut in 2022 for the romantic comedy Anything's Possible. Porter has also been recognized for his humanitarian efforts, receiving the Isabelle Stevenson Award at the 77th Tony Awards for his work with the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation and the Entertainment Community Fund.

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.
