Your competitors have us-based data science professionals in their X follower lists. These are people interested in your space - they followed a competing account because the topic matters to them. That is a signal you can act on, if you know who they are. But X gives you no way to see another account's followers intelligently - just a long list of profile photos and short bios with no filtering.
Data science professionals turn raw data into business decisions - building models, running experiments, and uncovering insights that drive strategy across every industry. They are active on X sharing their work and following accounts that produce interesting technical content. Identifying which data scientists are following a given account is valuable for recruiting, selling analytics tools, and building practitioner communities.
Catch The Good Ones lets you track any public X account - including your competitors. We classify every new follower using customisable AI-powered filters you define in plain English. When us-based data science professionals follow your competitor, they appear on your dashboard - classified and ready to act on. You see who is interested in your space and can get in front of them. This is not surveillance - every follow is public data. We just make sure you do not miss the ones that matter.
The US dominates this space globally, and the people shaping it are active on X.

Six steps. From adding an account to a fully automated pipeline.
Add a tracked account
Add any public X account - your own, a competitor, a thought leader, a company. We start monitoring their followers immediately.

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

How does Catch The Good Ones identify data science professionals?
We classify every new follower using AI that analyses their bio, recent posts, and profile data. You define your filters in plain English - "data scientists", "analytics engineers", "BI analysts" - and the AI matches followers against your criteria.
Can I filter by data science specialisation?
Yes. Your filters are fully customisable. Search for "data scientists in healthcare", "machine learning data scientists", "analytics engineers using dbt", or any other description that matters to you.
What is the difference between this and searching LinkedIn?
LinkedIn tells you who exists. Catch The Good Ones tells you who is already interested. A data scientist who follows a tracked X account has chosen to engage - that is a fundamentally different starting point for any outreach.
Can I track any competitor's X account?
Yes. Catch The Good Ones works with any public X account. You do not need to own or have access to the account - just add the handle and we start classifying their followers against your custom filters.
Will my competitor know I am tracking their followers?
No. We only access publicly available data. There is no notification sent to the account you are tracking. It is the same information anyone could see by scrolling through their follower list - we just classify and surface the data science professionals automatically.
How do you identify US-based profiles?
Our AI analyses bio text, location references, and posting patterns. Profiles that reference US organisations, cities, or institutions are classified as US-based. This catches clear signals from bios and professional affiliations.
