Why one-to-one

A focused conversation gives you room to ask a real question, share something useful and get to know someone beyond their job title.

  • You two pick the time and the café
  • Breakfast, lunch, or after work

Questions

The short version.

Do I need to download anything?
No. You sign up on this page. When you're matched you get one email with the other person's details, and you two take it from there on WhatsApp.
How do you decide who I meet?
Mostly on what you said you're looking for. Someone who wants a mentor gets paired with someone who wants to give back. Someone hiring meets someone open to moving. Then we balance for availability and neighbourhood. A person checks every pair before it goes out.
When will I get an introduction?
When we have a suitable person in Abu Dhabi who shares your availability and meeting areas. We're growing the local pool, so timing depends on who joins. We'll email you when you're matched.
Do I have to meet every week?
There is no weekly attendance commitment. If an introduction arrives at a busy time, tell your match and agree on a date that works. Reply to your introduction email if you'd like us to pause your profile.
What does it cost?
Joining is free. You pay for your own coffee at the café.
Where can I join?
Coffee Club is open in Hong Kong and Abu Dhabi. This page signs you up for Abu Dhabi. We match within each city, using the areas you select.
