Reach out when the moment is right.
Handshake Outreach sends highly personal, human-like DMs from your real accounts—only after learning who your prospects are and when it makes sense to speak.
Works best alongside Social Seeding.

The problem with outreach today
Sound familiar?
Generic outreach gets ignored.
Timing is usually wrong.
Messages feel automated, even when they're not.
Good opportunities are missed because context isn't tracked.
What Handshake Outreach does
Context-aware messaging that feels natural, not scripted.
Operates from your real browser
Uses the Handshake Chrome extension with your real sessions, cookies, and IP—so messages come from you, not a server.
Learns about prospects first
Scans posts, comments, engagement patterns, and recent activity before drafting any message.
Waits for the right moment
Monitors for signals—a new role, a relevant discussion, a competitor interaction—then acts when timing is natural.
Sends messages that feel human
Thoughtful, personal DMs that reference real context. No templates, no mail-merge variables.

Upload a list, watch a keyword, or track interactions like likes, comments, and follows.

Hey Sarah — congrats on the new role at Acme. I saw your post about scaling onboarding. We've been working on something adjacent and I'd love to swap notes if you're open.
Hi Alex, noticed you liked [Competitor]'s post on developer tooling. We're building something in the same space and looking for early design partners — thought I'd reach out.
Hey — enjoyed your thread on outbound fatigue. We've been testing a different approach focused on timing and trust. Happy to share what we've learned.
