The companies that researchers follow on X reveal where attention is flowing. When someone follows a company account, they are tracking that market, evaluating that product, or keeping an eye on that space. But X only gives you a scrollable list of profile photos and short bios - no way to filter a company's followers for the researchers you care about.
Researchers drive the knowledge that industries are built on. They publish papers, develop new methodologies, evaluate tools for their labs, and advise companies on technical strategy. X has become a major channel for academic and industry researchers to share findings and build professional networks. Identifying which researchers are following a given account is valuable for selling research tools, hiring research talent, finding collaborators, and building academic communities.
Catch The Good Ones lets you track any company account on X and classify every new follower using customisable AI-powered filters you define in plain English. Add the accounts of companies in your space - the category leaders, the fast-growing upstarts, the ones that attract the audience you want. We show you every matching follower, classified and ready to act on. It is market intelligence that runs on autopilot.

Take action with these researchers
Reach out to researchers for collaborations
A researcher who follows you is interested in your work. Send a DM proposing a research collaboration, pilot study, or data-sharing arrangement. Academic-industry partnerships often start with exactly this kind of signal.
We smart-compose a personalised DM so you can send it in one click.
Build a list of potential research partners
Export researcher followers to CSV or pull them into Clay. Segment by field, institution type, or seniority. This list is the foundation for partnerships, advisory boards, and conference speaker invitations.
Track which topics attract researcher interest
When multiple researchers follow you after a specific post or product announcement, you have found a topic that resonates with the academic community. Use that insight to publish more content that attracts researchers.

Catch The Good Ones: How it works
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Is this you?
People who search for this typically fall into one of these categories.
Research tool and instrument companies
You sell software, instruments, or platforms that researchers use. The researchers following your company account are potential customers. Identify them so your sales team can prioritise outreach.
See how it works for youCompanies hiring research talent
You are building a research division and need PhDs and postdocs who can ship. The researchers following your company are already interested in what you do. That is the warmest possible recruiting signal.
See how it works for youRecruiters sourcing research and science roles
You fill roles that require research backgrounds - R&D, data science, clinical research, or scientific advisory. Follower lists of labs, journals, and research companies are where these professionals congregate on X.
See how it works for youFrequently asked questions
How does Catch The Good Ones identify researchers?
We classify every new follower using AI that analyses their bio, recent posts, and profile data against your customisable filter dimensions. Researchers are identified by signals like academic titles, institutional affiliations, publication references, and research terminology - but you define exactly what matters to you.
Can I filter for researchers in a specific field?
Yes. Describe your target in plain English - for example, "machine learning researchers at top universities" or "clinical researchers in oncology". Our AI maps your description to filter dimensions and surfaces the matches.
Does this work for both academic and industry researchers?
Yes. You define the scope using your filter descriptions. Target "university researchers" for academics, "industry researchers" for corporate R&D, or both. The customisable filters let you draw the line wherever it makes sense for your use case.
What types of company accounts work best for finding researchers?
Category leaders, fast-growing startups, and companies that define your market tend to attract the most relevant followers. Track 3-5 companies in your space for a comprehensive view of which researchers are paying attention.
Can I see which researchers follow multiple tracked companies?
Yes. If the same person follows multiple companies you track, they will appear in each account's dashboard. Cross-referencing reveals who has the deepest interest in your space.
