About Sidney
Sidney Poitier was a Bahamian-American actor, film director, activist, and diplomat. Born on February 20, 1927, in Miami, Florida, he was granted U.S. citizenship and grew up in the Bahamas before moving to Miami at age 15 and then to New York City at age 16. Poitier gained prominence through his work with the American Negro Theatre and his breakthrough film role as a high school student in Blackboard Jungle in 1955. He became known for his leading roles in films such as The Defiant Ones, Lilies of the Field, Porgy and Bess, A Raisin in the Sun, and A Patch of Blue. His portrayal of strong African American characters and involvement in films addressing race and race relations helped break racial barriers in Hollywood. Notably, he was the first black actor and the first Bahamian to win the Academy Award for Best Actor for Lilies of the Field in 1964, and he received recognition from multiple awards, including Golden Globe Awards, a BAFTA Award, and a Grammy Award. Poitier later made his directorial debut with Buck and the Preacher in 1972 and contributed to various films, including Shoot to Kill and Sneakers. His honors included an honorary knighthood by Queen Elizabeth II, the Golden Globe Cecil B. DeMille Award, the Kennedy Center Honor, the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award, and an Honorary Academy Award. He was also awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the BAFTA Fellowship for his lifetime achievements. From 1997 to 2007, he served as the Bahamian Ambassador to Japan.

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.
