track investors on x, and read the signal in what they follow
the most honest signal an investor gives off isn't what they tweet - it's who they quietly start following. tracking that by hand across 1,000+ investors is impossible. frontrun does it automatically and tells you when it means something.
how do you track investors on x for deal signal?
you track investors on x by watching their follow activity - who they start following, and when several credible investors converge on the same young account. that convergence is a pre-round signal: it usually happens months before a round, often when the company still has double-digit followers. doing it manually doesn't scale past a handful of accounts, so frontrun monitors the follow graphs of 1,000+ venture investors and surfaces the convergences worth your attention.
why follows beat tweets
tweets are performance. follows are intent - an investor follows a company because they're tracking it, often before they'd say so publicly. a single follow is noise; several tier-1 investors following the same 40-follower account in a short window is signal. frontrun exists to separate the two at scale.
from raw follows to a ranked feed
frontrun ingests follow activity across 1,000+ tracked investors, detects convergence, classifies the company and the investors, and delivers it as a daily report and live feed - with dated provenance, so 'we saw it early' is checkable per company. it's the same signal, whether you read it in the app or pull it via api and mcp.
