What Comet Meetings does

Comet Meetings (legal entity Comet Group S.A.S.) is a Paris-based operator of premium meeting and event venues founded in 2016 by Victor Carreau, Maxime Albertus, and Nicholas Findling. The company operates 10 design-led venues across Paris (8 locations including La Défense, Étoile, Bourse, Bercy, Place des Victoires, Ternes), Brussels (Comet Louise), and Madrid (Comet Retiro), with a flagship low-carbon solid-wood campus at Nanterre (Comet Arboretum, 2023) and a new large-format venue at Levallois (Le Grand Comet, 2025). Each venue carries a distinct architectural theme created by named designers (Jean-Michel Willmotte, Lionel Jadot) and integrates hotel-grade hospitality services—catering (La Table du Chef Meliava, summer 2025), 15-minute wellness sessions, technical support, and full venue privatization.

The company's product portfolio spans four core solutions: Comet Meetings (transactional meeting room and event rentals), Comet Teamwork (€20/month per organizer subscription with usage-based hourly fees for last-minute room access), Comet Workplaces (hybrid daily-office solution), and Comet Hospitality (B2B managed service designing and operating collaborative spaces inside third-party office buildings for landlords such as AXA, Altarea, and LaSalle). Supporting services include Comet Studio for hybrid/virtual event production (up to 1 million virtual participants) and the Teamworld pro bono program for non-profits. An integrated booking platform (cosmos.comet-meetings.com) handles self-service reservations.

Comet serves large and mid-market enterprises with all-inclusive pricing (€83–€161 per person for study-day packages; €600–€12,500/day for room or site rentals; €45+/person for catering), generating revenue through day-based rentals, recurring subscriptions, managed services, and event production. The company has raised approximately €39.2M across three funding rounds (2016 seed €1.2M, 2018 €8M, 2020 Series B €30M led by Idinvest Partners with Bpifrance), reached profitability in 2023, and hosts blue-chip enterprise clients including SNCF, TotalEnergies, L'Oréal, Sanofi, Coca-Cola, Airbus, BNP Paribas, Engie, RATP, PayFit, and Dior. Cumulative throughput is 950,000+ visitors across nine years. The firm employs 101–250 people, holds B Corp certification (2025), and operates a 95/100 gender equality index.
