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 indian startup founders. 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.
Startup founders are some of the most active and engaged people on X. They share what they are building, engage with people they admire, and follow accounts that inspire or inform them. For anyone who invests in, recruits from, or sells to startups, knowing which founders are paying attention to a given account is a high-signal indicator of market interest.
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 indian startup founders 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 indian startup founders among them.
India is one of the fastest-growing markets in this space, with a massive and active X user base.

Recruit founders or their teams
A startup founder who follows you is already a fan. If their company is pre-product or winding down, they might be your next hire. If their company is thriving, their team might be too.
We smart-compose a personalised DM so you can send it in one click.
Build a prospect list of startup customers
If you sell to startups, your follower list is a warm prospect list. Export founder followers to CSV, enrich with company data, and prioritise outreach to the ones already paying attention.

| Sarah Chen | Venture Partner | 45.2K |

How does Catch The Good Ones identify startup founders?
We classify every new follower using AI against your customisable filters. Founders are commonly identified by bio signals like "founder", "co-founder", "CEO", or startup-related language. But you define exactly what matters - you might search for "technical founders in fintech" or "solo founders with 5K+ followers".
Can I find founders at specific stages?
Yes. Your search filters can target stage signals - for example, "pre-seed founders" or "founders who recently raised Series A". The AI uses bio and posting signals to match against your criteria.
Can I track who follows my competitors to find founders interested in my space?
Yes. Add any public X account as a tracked account. If your competitor sells to startups, tracking their account reveals which founders are in their audience - and potentially yours.
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.
How do you identify Indian profiles?
Our AI analyses bio text and posting patterns. Profiles referencing Indian cities, organisations, or institutions are classified as India-based.
