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 european thought leaders. 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.
Thought leaders shape how industries think. They write the threads that get screenshotted, speak at the conferences that matter, and influence decisions at major companies. A single share from the right thought leader can put content in front of tens of thousands of relevant people. Identifying which thought leaders are following a given account reveals amplification potential and partnership opportunities that are invisible without classification.
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 european thought leaders 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 european thought leaders among them.
From London to Berlin to Paris, Europe has a thriving ecosystem, and the key people in it are active on X.

Take action with these thought leaders
Start conversations with industry voices
When a thought leader follows you, you have permission to start a conversation. Send a DM that references their work and adds something original. This is how professional relationships begin on X.
We smart-compose a personalised DM so you can send it in one click.
Build a list of potential collaborators
Export thought leader followers to CSV or pull them into Clay via our API. These are people who respect your work enough to follow you. That is the foundation for podcast invitations, joint content, and speaking opportunities.
Track thought leader engagement over time
See which of your posts attract thought leader attention. When three industry voices follow you after a specific thread, you have found a topic worth doubling down on.

See how it works for youFrequently asked questions
How does Catch The Good Ones identify thought leaders?
We classify every new follower using AI that analyses their bio, recent posts, and profile data against your customisable filter dimensions. Thought leaders are identified by signals like audience size, engagement rates, content frequency, and professional positioning - but you define exactly what matters to you in plain English.
Can I filter for thought leaders in a specific industry?
Yes. Describe your target - for example, "AI thought leaders with 50K+ followers" or "fintech voices who write about banking infrastructure". Our AI maps your description to filter dimensions and surfaces only the matches.
What is the difference between a thought leader and an influencer?
In our system, you define the distinction. You might filter for "people with 10K+ followers who post about industry topics" or "executives who publish long-form content". The customisable filters let you define exactly what "thought leader" means for your use case.
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.
Which European countries are covered?
All of them. If a profile lists any European location or organisation, they are classified as European. The most common signals come from the UK, Germany, France, Netherlands, Nordics, and Spain, but any European country is captured.
