About William
William David Friedkin was an American film, television, and opera director, producer, and screenwriter associated with the New Hollywood movement of the 1970s. He began his career in documentaries during the early 1960s and gained recognition for directing the crime thriller film The French Connection in 1971. This film won five Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Director. Friedkin is also known for his 1973 horror film The Exorcist, which earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Director. His work in the 1970s and 1980s includes the drama The Boys in the Band, the thriller Sorcerer, the crime comedy The Brink's Job, the controversial thriller Cruising, and the neo-noir thriller To Live and Die in L. A. Although his works experienced a decline in commercial and critical reception in the late 1980s, his later films such as Bug, Killer Joe, and The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial received positive critical response. Additionally, Friedkin worked extensively as an opera director from 1998 onwards and directed various television films and series episodes. He passed away in August 2023, leaving a notable legacy in film and opera.

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.
