KOZ club

Friday’s dinner was really lovely, thank you! Everyone was so open and friendly, and we hit it off straight away!

I discovered Koz through a LinkedIn post and I liked the idea. I love meeting people, and not having to organise anything and being surprised was the final straw that convinced me! I had a really lovely first lunch in a small group. The conversation was relaxed; nobody was there to sell themselves. There was no pressure, which made it a really light-hearted occasion.

I was looking to expand my network and meet people with a keen interest in people, in a different setting and with a different approach. The conversations were natural, spontaneous and very enjoyable.

I met some interesting people who were engaged with the topics discussed over dinner. Perhaps there could have been a little more clarity regarding the objectives set by each participant. It was a very enriching experience.

A brilliant format – everyone needs to eat, so we take our time. A diverse group of people, all friendly and open-minded. Chatty conversations, a great atmosphere and the chance to meet new people.

We met at the restaurant at lunchtime; everyone arrived at the same time, and after some quick, friendly greetings, the conversation flowed naturally amongst us. The conversation got off to a flying start – there were professionals around the table who quickly got down to business: business matters, proposals…

I had a lovely meal with some strangers, who didn’t remain strangers for long, despite our professional differences; we simply shared our common ideas and experiences. It was a lovely time, without any particular agenda; I hadn’t had any specific expectations, but it was very pleasant to chat with professionals from all walks of life who were facing the same professional challenges.

A wonderful experience – both useful and enjoyable!

I was contacted by email to join a Koz Club lunch. I wasn’t at all familiar with the concept, but after doing a bit of research, I decided to give it a go, without any preconceptions or specific aims. By the end, one thing was certain: I’d ‘gained’ a lot from the discussions on various topics, including business – naturally – which was why I’d come along. I made four new contacts – the start of a network! I was really pleased with the people I met and the conversations we had. My only regret: it was a bit too short. I’d set aside two hours in my diary, but they flew by far too quickly.

a simple and effective format. a diverse cast

It was a brilliant time; I opened up like never before and met some lovely people. The conversations were really natural and warm.

I really appreciated the choice of restaurant (conveniently located, within budget, great atmosphere) and the fact that the group was mixed (unlike what I’d seen elsewhere on social media, which had been bothering me). There were great conversations and a cheerful atmosphere, and I left with some lovely ideas for the future – in short, I’d highly recommend it! We got down to business very quickly and quite naturally; being of a similar age helps a great deal in this respect, as we share a common understanding.

The other participants’ professional interests were very much in line with my own, which made for meaningful discussions, helped us build relationships, and allowed me to learn from their professional experience. The discussions were straightforward and direct. They were very good listeners.

I was looking for a professional event after having experienced Dixner and Timeleft at the personal event, and I had a brilliant time. There were lots of chats, both about the professional and personal events, a great atmosphere and a lovely time spent together

I enjoyed meeting new people, discovering a new place, and sharing experiences and insights into both professional and personal life. I’m leaving feeling energised by the connections I’ve made without expecting anything in return, and with ideas on a range of topics.

I came out of curiosity and left very pleasantly surprised by the ease, diversity and quality of the discussions. It was a very enjoyable experience with a wide variety of backgrounds, but ultimately there were many topics that quickly brought us together (the impact of AI, the importance of management, the younger generations and their expectations and behaviours, etc.)

It was nice to meet people we’d probably never have spoken to on the street. The meal went well, and we had some interesting chats

This meet-up concept with complete strangers is a brilliant idea – it was my first time and I had a brilliant time sharing experiences, having a laugh (yes, even with strangers!), meeting lovely people – in short, it was great! LinkedIn

I was looking for a new way to expand my network of contacts in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The discussions were constructive and, naturally, positive.

Four people who don’t know each other but who all share the same desire to chat about this and that. We quickly get to know one another, discovering shared interests, common needs and moments of laughter. There’s a curiosity to learn more about each other’s professions and personalities. Those moments of laughter. The warmth of people who are there for the same reason – not just for networking, as we’re used to, where everyone already knows each other and it’s hard to really get to know other people.

I wanted to give it a go, without any preconceptions, and I had a brilliant time with some really interesting people. It’s easy – you get to meet new people and discover new places. It breathes new life into networking, or complements it. The conversations were really friendly and relaxed; the size of the group plays a big part in that, and the time we spend there sets the pace. It’s a welcome break from the endless handshakes and sales pitches. Definitely worth doing again.

A really lovely experience. You just turn up as you are, and conversations flow naturally. I really like this idea of informal chats, with no pressure. It’s simply the pleasure of sharing a good time, having a chat and meeting new people. What’s more, the restaurant we chose was a real gem! I’d recommend it 100%! I’ll be doing it again as soon as I can!

A first for me, and definitely not the last! A lovely atmosphere right from the start – it’s simple, enjoyable and genuine! It’s all about the people and their personalities first and foremost, and if some business comes out of it, that’s the icing on the cake, but it’s not necessarily the main thing. It feels good! Very pleasant and friendly! Definitely worth doing again!

Easy ways to meet open-minded, well-mannered and friendly people. I’ve made connections with new people

A brilliant concept, and a lovely experience at this table and in the restaurant. Friendly

I was looking to meet people as part of the launch of my business in 2026, to expand my network – which could help me in my dealings with business clients – and also to raise awareness of my business. Everything went to plan. It was a very enjoyable event, with small tables, like-minded people and a great atmosphere.

I was looking for a network that was easy to use and had no commitment. The tables are just the right size, and the conversations are friendly, just like at home

I really enjoyed the idea of having lunch with ‘strangers’ to chat about our jobs, our values and so on. The conversations flowed easily and felt very natural. I’m leaving with fond memories and having met some lovely people!

I was drawn to the format, and it helps you step outside your comfort zone. The discussions were enjoyable and lively.

A very balanced group, friendly and open-minded people, quite a diverse bunch A really uplifting experience. A great atmosphere and a really energising time

Very interesting discussions and a positive atmosphere. A great place to exchange ideas and get inspiration

This format of professional networking over lunch allows for a more relaxed, less conventional and less stuffy atmosphere. It enables more spontaneous, constructive and in-depth discussions than simple encounters at other, more formal events. The choice of guests and the restaurant were absolutely brilliant! The conversations were spontaneous, genuine and informative – a really lovely table! I think we were all quite sociable. The professional connections weren’t necessarily as obvious as I’d expected at first, but they proved instructive nonetheless, and everyone had a good chat with everyone else.

Some wonderful moments of sharing with some really lovely people. It isn’t necessarily business-focused in the immediate sense, but the conversations leave a lasting impression on everyone. I’d highly recommend this unique format for getting together. It fosters a growing open-mindedness and a desire to do it all again.

A new and very rewarding experience, ideal for meeting people in a relaxed way. It’s all about the human touch, with real professional opportunities to boot. Well done, Koz – see you soon!

A lovely lunch for four – much easier than sitting at tables of six or seven, like last time, when it’s hard to have a proper conversation. Some really good conversations

I’m looking to build a social network in the true sense of the word ‘social’. To meet genuine people and have meaningful experiences. This meal gave me a real sense of fulfilment. The conversation flowed naturally right from the start. There was plenty of listening, lots of questions and plenty of advice given.

I was looking to meet new people in Nantes who were involved in entrepreneurship, without the group being properly established or everyone knowing each other. To be honest, I had a great time. The conversations flowed easily and were really enjoyable.

Really nice. Natural conversations and some great encounters – well worth a visit.

I just wanted to find out more about this concept, and I wasn’t disappointed. The discussions were very interesting.

A really great way for freelancers and enthusiasts to network! The venue was superbly organised and the guests were very well chosen. The conversations flowed naturally – friendly and very polite.

It was a really good experience; the only thing that bothered me a little was that one person spoke a great deal and chimed in on every topic, taking up a large proportion of everyone’s speaking time. I kept a bit of a low profile; I spent a lot of time observing people and watching how they worked. At the end of the meal, it was really interesting – we started swapping LinkedIn details and talking a bit more about our projects, as well as discussing how we could create synergies between us; it was really great . It’s a great experience that can help you build a strong network in the region and also get to know people and their professions in more detail – particularly those who are just starting out in their businesses – and discuss some of the challenges we might face in our day-to-day lives

Such lovely people – we talked about everything except work: our own experiences, what we’d have liked to do as a dream job, our children, our passions. It was a truly relaxing time with genuine people who weren’t putting on an act. A breath of fresh air and sincerity. Really lovely, genuine people who, above all, want to get to know one another. It’s not a competition to see who’s got the biggest car or house – it’s genuinely very pleasant.

A really lovely lunch, just like the first one – well done on choosing the people for the table. Warmth and openness

Some really relaxed get-togethers with four other people, all of whom were really friendly, cultured and open to discussing a wide range of topics (we hardly talked about business at all, which suited me just fine!). We got on so well that we’ve decided to meet up again for drinks in a month and a half! Honestly, it was really lovely and surprising to see such a good match in terms of interests and life experiences. Well done, KOZ!

I met some really friendly people and had some completely unexpected, interesting conversations. The restaurant is lovely and the food is well prepared and full of flavour. I enjoyed meeting people I wouldn’t necessarily have come across elsewhere. It leads to different and stimulating conversations.

It’s been an enriching experience for me, and one that perfectly meets my need to break out of the isolation of self-employment. I’ve met some lovely people, and I’m still in touch with them. It really cheers me up to know that I’ll be able to have lunch regularly with entrepreneurs who speak my language.

It was a friendly occasion; there were four of us and our discussions were very balanced. Practical, effective, easy

I signed up out of curiosity, to make connections and see if they might prove useful later on in my career. I met some lovely, open-minded people from backgrounds different to my own, but the most important thing was that we chatted about everything and nothing. Just getting to know one another and having a lovely time over a meal. A very positive and enjoyable experience

I’d just come along to meet some new people, and it turned out to be a lovely experience. I had a brilliant time, and as an added bonus, we’re going to stay in touch. I felt really at ease because the organisation was top-notch!
