About Charles Berthoud
Press coverage of the Deaku round lists Charles Berthoud among "prominent creators" who took part in the round. The coverage does not describe his career, employers or companies he has founded.
Several people share this name, and no source we found ties him to a specific profile. We have left out biographical details we could not confirm. Founders should check the person's own channels before reaching out.
The one public angel investment we found is Deaku, a pre-seed round announced on 13 March 2026. Deaku was founded in 2025 by Oscar Ferguson and Harrison Chapman. We found no earlier angel investments, exits or syndicate memberships, and no public information on how many deals he has done.
Deaku is described as an intelligent workspace for the Creator Economy. It combines strategy, analytics, collaboration, communication and AI in one platform. The company raised £480K in a round led by Fuel Ventures. Other participants named in the coverage were Rob Landes, Rob Van Impe and Mario Joos. The funding is meant for product development, support capabilities and go-to-market work, including partnerships with creator-economy voices.
The only public data point is an AI-enabled creator tools company at pre-seed in the UK. That is too little to call a focus. We found no public statement from him about stage, sectors, geography or check size, and his share of the £480K has not been disclosed.
