Open with a person, not a press release
“I saw you raised a round” tells someone you read the internet. “I know Katrin on your team” tells them something about you and them — and OppStream finds the second one for you.
Company news is the weakest strong opener
Referencing a funding round or an expansion is better than nothing, and everyone does it. By the time a prospect has had four emails about their own press release, it has stopped being personal and started being a tell.
A shared person is different
It cannot be automated by someone who has never met you, which is exactly why it still works.
You already have the data
Your own connections list holds it. It has just never been lined up against the accounts you are selling into.
How it works
- 1
Add your contacts, once
A two-minute export from LinkedIn, uploaded once. Optional — everything else works without it, this just gives OppStream a warmer way in when one exists.
- 2
Your whole team's network counts
A colleague's contact opens the same door, so the more of you who add theirs, the more accounts have a way in. The draft always names whose relationship it is.
- 3
OppStream lines it up
It matches your contacts against the people it has found at each account — checking the company, so a namesake somewhere else never becomes “someone you know there”.
- 4
The draft leads with it
When a shared contact exists, it opens the message and the company signal moves down to support it. When one does not, the timing signal opens instead.
What it will and will not say
It says what is provable
“I know Katrin on your team.” True, checkable, and it survives them asking her.
It never invents a referral
“Katrin suggested I get in touch” is a claim that collapses the moment they check. OppStream will not write it, and never implies an introduction.
Your network stays your network. Nothing is scraped, no password is asked for, and your account is never connected to anything — so there is nothing to put it at risk. Adding your contacts simply gives OppStream one more thing to open with; it finds accounts, timing and the right people either way.
