Pick any X account. We'll find the ctos.

Every public X account has ctos hiding in its follower list.

Think about the X accounts that matter in your world. The companies, the thought leaders, the media outlets, the conference accounts. Each one has a follower list, and buried in those lists are ctos. The problem is that X only lets you scroll through a long list of profile photos and short bios with no way to intelligently filter for the people you are looking for.

CTOs make buying decisions for engineering teams, evaluate new tools and platforms, and shape the technical direction of their companies. They are among the most commercially valuable technical decision-makers to identify in any audience. For developer tool companies, B2B SaaS sales teams, and recruiters, knowing which CTOs are paying attention is a direct line to enterprise conversations.

Catch The Good Ones fixes that. Add any public X account and we classify every new follower using customisable AI-powered filters you define in plain English. The ctos surface to the top, classified and ready to act on. It works for any account - your own, a competitor, a thought leader, a conference, a media outlet. If an account has followers, we can find the ctos among them.

Start a conversation with a warm CTO lead

When a CTO follows you, they have already opted in. Send a thoughtful DM about something they posted or a challenge you know their team faces. This is not cold outreach - they followed you because your work caught their attention.

We smart-compose a personalised DM so you can send it in one click.

Direct Message

Hi Sarah - I noticed you followed me recently. I saw you led the Series A at Horizon. We are building in a similar space...
Hey! Yes, been following your progress. Would love to chat - free Thursday?

Catch The Good Ones: How it works

Six steps. From adding an account to a fully automated pipeline.

1

Add a tracked account

Add any public X account - your own, a competitor, a thought leader, a company. We start monitoring their followers immediately.

2

Define your search

Describe who you are looking for in plain English. "Investors with 10K+ followers" or "Female tech founders in fintech". Our AI maps it to filters.

3

Run a sync

Syncs run automatically on your schedule (up to 4x/day on Pro). Every new follower is classified by job role, personality, skills, and more.

4

Explore your matches

Your dashboard shows only the people who match your criteria. Full profile, job title, personality traits, and the date they followed.

5

Export and act

Download upload-ready CSVs for tools like Apollo, Hunter, and Snov.io. DM people directly on X. Or connect via our API and Zapier.

6

Automate it

Schedule regular syncs and let the workflow run for you. Set up automated actions via Zapier or our API. Choose your notification preferences so you never miss a match.

B2B SaaS companies targeting technical buyers

You sell infrastructure, security, or platform tools. The people evaluating your product are CTOs and VPs of Engineering. When they follow your company account, you need to know immediately.

Recruiters sourcing technical leadership

You are filling CTO and VP Engineering roles. The best candidates are not on job boards - they are active on X, following companies and people in their space. Find them in follower lists of the companies they admire.

Frequently asked questions

How does Catch The Good Ones identify CTOs in a follower list?

We classify every new follower using AI that analyses their bio, recent posts, and profile data against your customisable filter dimensions. CTOs are commonly identified by titles like CTO, Chief Technology Officer, VP Engineering, and Head of Engineering - but you define exactly what matters to you in plain English.

Can I filter for CTOs at specific types of companies?

Yes. Describe what you are looking for - for example, "CTOs at fintech companies with 50+ employees" or "technical leaders at Series B startups". Our AI maps your description to filter dimensions and surfaces only the profiles that match.

What if a CTO does not list their title in their bio?

Our classification uses multiple signals beyond bio text, including posting patterns and professional context. However, if someone has no public signals of their role, they may not be identified. The system catches clear signals but cannot detect what is not publicly shared.

Can I really track any public X account?

Yes. Any public account. You do not need to own it, manage it, or have any relationship with it. Just add the handle and we start classifying their followers against your custom filters.

How many accounts can I track?

As many as you want. Each tracked account is billed separately based on the tier you choose (Starter, Growth, or Pro), so you can start with one and expand as you see results.
