Your existing partners know your dream customers — and you know theirs.
Opportune helps you pick which partners to co-host events with, then curate the perfect guest list (while protecting everyone's privacy).
Upload a list of your current customers and one of your dream prospects. They stay private — visible to no one but you.
A dinner in New York, this quarter, twenty seats, shared budget. Send it to partners you'd consider co-hosting with.
Each side sees a percentage before anyone sees a name: 31% of your dream prospects are their customers. If the math says dinner, both sides reveal just the overlap and build the guest list together.
I want to host a dinner for ~20 ecommerce ops leaders in NYC this fall. Which of my partners should I co-host with?
I checked your Opportune connections. Three have strong overlap with your NYC dream list:
| Partner | Overlap | Mutual · NYC |
|---|---|---|
| Northbeam 3PL | 34% | 41 |
| Cartwheel | 28% | 33 |
| Tidewater Returns | 19% | 22 |
Northbeam is the strongest match — and 38 of their customers are on your dream list, so the room would work for both of you. Want me to draft an event proposal to send them?
No new software to learn. It all happens in a conversation — and the invitations get drafted right in your own Gmail.
Friend —
I spent this morning planning a dinner with two brands as co-sponsors. I had each of them mark up a guest list I'd sent, then send back their own wish lists, then we cross-referenced everything by hand. It worked. It also took three spreadsheets and most of a morning.
The thing is, the matching question underneath it is simple: which of my customers are on your dream list, and which of yours are on mine? That overlap is the whole reason two companies host an event together. Nobody should have to find it manually — and nobody should have to email a partner their entire customer list to do it.
So I'm building a tool for it. Lists stay private. Matching is as easy as chatting with Claude. No names are revealed until both partners are opted in.
Opportune is invite-only while I build with a handful of companies who host events with partners and feel this pain. If that's you, I'd love to hear from you.

If you co-host dinners, mixers, or field events with partners and the list-swapping ritual sounds familiar, reply and tell me about the last one.
