About John
John Daniel Singleton was an American director, screenwriter, and producer known for his influential work in African-American cinema. He gained recognition with his feature film debut, Boyz n the Hood, which he wrote and directed in 1991. At the age of 24, he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director, making him the first African American and the youngest nominee in that category. Singleton's career included directing and writing a variety of films such as the romantic drama Poetic Justice, the college-based drama Higher Learning, the historical drama Rosewood, and the crime film Shaft. He also directed Baby Boy, two well-known action films, 2 Fast 2 Furious and Four Brothers. Beyond feature films, Singleton contributed to television, co-creating the crime drama Snowfall and directing episodes of series like Empire, Rebel, and The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story. His work on the latter earned him a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Directing. Singleton's films often depicted themes relating to the African-American urban experience, including black masculinity, trauma, racism, and identity. He frequently cast rappers and musicians such as Ice Cube, Tupac Shakur, Janet Jackson, and Ludacris in notable roles, reflecting his connection with the music industry and his focus on culturally significant storytelling.

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.
