Right now, there are african founders following you on X. They chose to follow your account because something caught their attention - your content, your company, your perspective. But you have no idea which of your followers they are. X lumps new followers into group notifications like "47 people followed you", so the important ones get lost in the crowd.
Founders run companies, make purchasing decisions, and influence their teams. They are the people behind the products, the hiring decisions, and the partnerships that shape industries. Knowing which founders are in any given audience is valuable whether you are selling to startups, looking for collaborators, or building a network of peers.
Catch The Good Ones changes that. We monitor your X follower list and classify every new follower using customisable AI-powered filters you define in plain English. Founders surface immediately on your dashboard, with their profile data and classification. No more scrolling through thousands of followers hoping to spot someone relevant. You get a clean, filtered list of the african founders who have already shown interest by following you. The next move is yours.
Africa is one of the fastest-growing ecosystems in this space, and the people driving it are active on X.

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.

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

B2B companies selling to founders

See how it works for youBrands looking for founder partnerships
You want founders to champion your product, join an advisory board, or participate in a case study. The ones already following you are the easiest to activate - they already pay attention to what you do.

How does Catch The Good Ones find founders?
We classify every new follower of tracked accounts using AI against customisable filters you write in plain English. You describe who you are looking for - "D2C founders", "bootstrapped SaaS founders", "founders in fintech" - and our system analyses bios, posts, and profile data to surface matches on your dashboard.
Does this work for any type of founder?
Yes. Your filters are completely customisable. Whether you are looking for e-commerce founders, deep tech founders, solo founders, or venture-backed founders, you define the criteria and the AI matches against it.
Can I track competitors to find founders who follow them?
Yes. You can track any public X account - not just your own. Add a competitor, a thought leader, or a conference account, and we classify their followers using your filters. This is useful for finding founders who are interested in your space but do not know about you yet.
How quickly will I see new founders who follow me?
Depending on your plan, we sync your followers up to 4 times per day. When new founders follow you, they appear on your dashboard within hours - classified against whatever filter dimensions you have defined.
What can I do once I find founders who follow me?
You can DM them directly on X (they already follow you, so your message lands in their primary inbox). You can export to CSV, connect to 8,000+ apps via our native Zapier integration, or use our REST API to pipe data directly into any tool. The key insight is that this is warm outreach - they came to you first.
Which African countries are covered?
All of them. The most common signals come from Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, and Egypt, but any African country is captured from bio and profile signals.
