ABOUT US
Our vision is to become the global backbone of Conversational Commerce (cCom).

We at Charles believe "traffic" will exponentially move from the streets and the browser into chat apps. In a world where cCom is the 3rd big pillar of commerce, gluing together all channels unlocks the full potential of personalization between companies and consumers. For any situation in life we believe It’s  better to have a conversation. Conversations  are the human superpower to create trust, shape relationships and avoid  misunderstandings. In life as in commerce. Between people as between  consumers & companies.      

With our B2B SaaS software Charles empowers companies to master this opportunity by seamlessly bringing their business into chat. Founded by Kapten & Son Co-Founder Artjem Weissbeck and ex-McKinsey E-Commerce lead Andreas Tussing, we're facing an exponentially growing number of clients and are backed by prestigeous investors Accel and HV Capital. Now it is time for you to join us on our journey and pioneer Conversational Commerce together!

At Charles we know teams perform and innovate best when they are diverse. We are committed to create an inclusive and belonging environment where our employees can bring the best and only version of themselves. We embrace and fearlessly welcome meaningful work and innovation no matter of age, gender identity, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, disability, status, neurodiversity and else. With our growth, we want to commit to reflect these values and strive to create a workplace where everyone feels heard and valued.
