Customer reviews of KOZ club

Very good discussions, very good idea, I agree 100%. I just have one "regret": we were all more or less in the same line of work. Even though it's nice to talk with peers, my goal is more to do business (I'd prefer to have people from different sectors than my own). Nice people who are there to talk, easy, practical.

A pleasant, simple and friendly moment, with all participants listening and engaging in discussions. Nice and interesting encounters.

I really enjoyed meeting and having lunch with strangers and how quickly we all got along around the table. The conversation flowed naturally, but I personally felt a little uncomfortable when we realised during the round table discussion that five out of the six of us were from the insurance industry. Even though we didn't have exactly the same target audience, there were overlaps. It was interesting, but it wasn't what I was looking for: I would have preferred to be the only one from my sector at the table. But I've already signed up again to try the experience again in March ^^ I can't wait to see my next table! In any case, thank you for the concept, it's great!

I saw LinkedIn posts from people I knew talking about Koz lunches. After the second post, I decided to sign up too. It looked really nice. Great! I had a wonderful time, I learned new things, my curiosity was piqued, the people I met were very friendly and just as eager as I was to chat and get to know each other. As an added bonus, I discovered a great place to have lunch. The time flew by. I'm a fan of the concept: innovative, modern and simple. I tell everyone about it because it's such a good idea. Thank you.

A wonderful experience. A lively and engaging discussion. Participants from diverse backgrounds and walks of life. A pleasant break to start the week! To be repeated!

For my first time at KOZ Club, I was apprehensive about meeting several strangers around a table and sharing a meal. In the end, the atmosphere was pleasant, friendly and natural, which is why I would gladly recommend KOZ. We spent so much time on personal aspects that it took a while to get to the "business" side of things. In the end, everyone was able to present their professional activity and listen to everyone else. Thank you for this opportunity :). Despite a great experience that I would recommend again, I am more sceptical about the potential benefits. After all, it's all about finding the right match between the selected professionals. I am ready to repeat the experience.

You have to do it! It's an experience that's accessible to everyone, whether you're shy or not. Wonderful encounters. Easy conversation, open-minded participants, a very enjoyable time.

First KOZ very satisfactory, with very similar and relevant profiles. Very relevant matching, friendly atmosphere, desire to continue discussions with the people I met.

A pleasant and enjoyable event, I really appreciated the format of having a meal together. The conversations were very natural and pleasant.

It was well organised and everyone was on time. Everyone had time to share their experiences, which was great. We should do it again. Exchanges, sharing and, unconsciously, taking a step back from one's work.

A very enjoyable, relaxed and friendly moment! A great restaurant too, so a pleasant HUMAN moment, just the way we like them and which are so precious. Simple and informal, the naturalness that I had been missing in all the other networking systems since I arrived in Lyon. Thank you Victor ;)

It was relaxed, very direct. People were inclined to share a lot of their experiences; I remember a benevolent energy.

A relaxed lunch meeting with friendly, outgoing people. Natural and always enjoyable discussions about common issues.

Very nice and friendly atmosphere, smooth communication and good human interaction, but less interesting on a professional level. We really weren't in the same field. The concept is really nice.

Very nice, well organised, very friendly people. I gained energy and it was good to have other perspectives.

I discovered Koz on LinkedIn and the concept piqued my curiosity, so I wanted to give it a try. The meeting place was very well chosen and my table partners were very friendly! The conversation flowed smoothly from the start, and the profiles at the table complemented each other well. I'm leaving this experience with new contacts and renewed energy.

The concept is still great, I love putting real things rather than virtual ones. It's a shame that people had other commitments, there were only three of us in the end... but that's how it goes at 8.30pm 😅 Luckily, I then went to Koz Cigale to meet up with a friend, and the atmosphere there was great! It put a smile back on my face. Overall, it was still really nice to meet people from different backgrounds. I don't know if I'll do the after-work format again, but changing locations was a good idea.

I didn't have any particular expectations, just to meet and chat in an informal setting, and that's exactly what happened. A table with a mix of ages and experiences, but with similarities and common ground. It was great!

There were two tables planned, but Corine was ill, so I politely said that I couldn't stay because I'm pregnant. So I spoke to the waiters and they offered me an alternative solution of moving me to the other table; to cut a long story short, Corine ended up leaving and Diane joined us. We had a table of seven, which was perfect, and the atmosphere was great. We really bonded well – there was a great group energy. I was nervous at first, but it ended up going really well.

The format was nice: a table on a human scale, different profiles, and almost everyone played along with the evening's activities. Following discussions during the evening, I was able to find a solution for one of my clients. It's always interesting to meet new people too. A great experience, nice people, and a relaxed atmosphere.

I had lunch with four people I didn't know. Four different profiles. Everyone listened to each other. All while enjoying a quality meal. The conversation was friendly, but it was a little difficult to hear each other because the restaurant was full and there was a large table right next to us. Still, it was an enjoyable time. However, I'm not sure what the outcome of this will be.

I spoke with professionals from other sectors of activity. It was an interesting and quick introduction, which allows you to explore further based on affinities and opportunities. I met people whom I might call upon one day. That surprised me, but it's interesting.

You'll probably hear about it, but there was a minor altercation between two people who were there. Apart from that incident, everything went very well. Meeting people from a wide variety of professional backgrounds was a real bonus. We all had in common that we were solopreneurs, which meant we could share our difficulties and learn how others had dealt with them.

I wanted to network in a more focused way, move beyond small talk and really get to know people. Very good. The participants were homogeneous, everyone took part in the conversation at their own pace and we exchanged our LinkedIn profiles.

A very simple and enjoyable way to meet new people. Very good: easy to talk to people who seem to share the same values as me.

The people there were very friendly. We were able to discuss a wide range of topics, from our professional activities to lucid dreaming to analogue AI 😁. The koz was very good.

Simple contacts with professional affinities to be developed. To be renewed regularly.

A very pleasant lunch, surprising encounters and wonderful discoveries – thank you KOZ. I'm leaving with renewed energy and a few points to explore that have piqued my curiosity.

Two hours to meet strangers with no strings attached and no expectations other than pleasant surprises. It was my fifth time and definitely the best experience I've had. I left at 2:30 p.m. without noticing the time passing.

I liked saying that I was going to have lunch with "I don't know who yet"! I felt a little privileged to be part of such an unusual experience. I was curious about the people I would meet, and I found it quite fun to only find out where I was going to have lunch 48 hours in advance 😊. It was a rather convivial moment, with curious and kind people. The venue was very nice (La belle idée in Grenoble). I didn't feel obliged to do anything, except take this moment for myself.

Interesting, it makes me want to try it with other people. It's difficult to generalise after only meeting two people, I imagine it varies a lot! It was quite smooth, interesting to meet two other managers, but the two contacts present already knew each other, so you always feel a bit out of place, especially when there are three of you.

It's a nice way to meet new people and talk about my professional projects without any pressure. The diversity of profiles naturally led us to seek out commonalities or complementary skills to enrich each other.

As a young entrepreneur, I was looking for a different way to network, one that was friendly and hassle-free. Sharing a meal with strangers can be scary, especially for an introvert like me, but the conversation flows easily, as if we've known each other for a long time. Thank you, Koz Club, for offering a different kind of networking experience!

A fantastic experience this lunchtime, with humour, good spirits and great conversation.

A wonderful discovery, simple and easy exchanges, and deeply humane people with values that I think are close to my own. I felt right at home!

Nice lunch with four other people. The only downside was that the food wasn't great, even though I'd been there before and found it much better! But I'll definitely go back!

I was looking for different ways to network and meet entrepreneurs in my city. The conversations were simple and straightforward, and the meal was a convivial occasion that allowed for just that. The small groups helped to keep it very high quality!
