About William
William Hing Cheung Hung, born November 10, 1982, is a Hong Kong-born American who gained fame as a participant on the third season of American Idol. He became widely recognized following his audition singing Ricky Martin's hit song She Bangs, despite his unsuccessful performance. At the time of his audition, Hung was a civil engineering student at the University of California, Berkeley. His spirited attempt to become the next American Idol garnered him a substantial fanbase, largely based on his perceived lack of musical talent. Following his exit from university, Hung pursued a career in music, releasing a debut album titled Inspiration in 2004 which topped the Billboard Top Independent Album Chart. His subsequent recordings, including the Christmas EP Hung for the Holidays and the album Miracle: Happy Summer from William Hung, saw diminishing commercial success. In 2011, Hung shifted his career path by accepting a position as a technical crime analyst with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. Since then, he has spoken positively about his experience in the music industry and has chosen to pursue a career in law enforcement.

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.
