How it works
Four steps, about three minutes.
- Sign in with XRead-only access. FollowX can't post, follow, like or DM for you.
- Build your cardWhat you build, your stage and niches, plus a private email for match alerts.
- SwipeLike the founders you'd want to know. A mutual like is a match.
- Connect on X within 7 daysFollow each other, press Verify, and the pact is sealed: +10 points each.
X Premium: Swiping and launching need an X Premium badge; anyone can browse founders and launches.
Is this safe for my X account?
- You choose every follow yourself. Nothing is automated.
- Matches are capped at 20 a day, so nobody mass-follows.
- FollowX has read-only access: it can't post, follow, like or DM.
- It reads who you follow only to check a pact, when you press Verify.

Founders here now
FollowX is in early access, so this list is short and every card is a real founder. Early members are the first cards everyone after them sees.

Why I built FollowX
I built FollowX to meet other solo founders on X on purpose, not through follow-for-follow threads and bots. You pick who you'd like to know, and you only connect when it's mutual.
It's early and the community is small, so every founder who joins shapes what it becomes. If something's missing or broken, tell me.
Eric Solodev @ericsolodevBuilt FollowX · team@followx.todayQuestions, answered
Is it free?
Yes. Matching, pacts, the leaderboard and launching are free. A free launch needs our small badge on your website.
Do I need X Premium?
To swipe, match, launch and upvote, yes: the X Premium badge keeps bots out. Without it you can still sign in, build your card and appear on Discover, and anyone can browse founders and launches.
Is it OK with X?
FollowX never acts for you. You decide who to like and whether to follow anyone, matches are capped at 20 a day, and the X connection is read-only. It introduces founders to each other; it isn't a follow train.
What do you read from my X account?
When you sign in: your handle, name, photo, follower counts and whether you have Premium. When you press Verify on a pact: whether you follow that one founder. Nothing else. See Terms & Privacy.
What if they don't follow back?
Nothing happens to your account. The pact expires after 7 days and neither of you gets the +10. We check the follow once, when the pact is sealed, and never re-check it later.
How do launches work?
Pick a launch day on Projects. Your product goes live at 10:00 UTC, founders upvote and comment, and the day's top launch becomes Product of the Day. Every launch keeps a permanent page.
Meet the founders building what you build.
Sign in with X, build your card in about three minutes and start swiping. We're in early access, so you'll be one of the first founders everyone after you sees.
