Meet the Founder
R. Davis Johnson
Orgin Story
From a young age, I was drawn to residential real estate—the excitement of helping people find homes and the tangible nature of the industry sparked my interest. I pursued that passion early, working hands-on in residential real estate for two years. However, the more I immersed myself in the business world, the more my focus evolved.
Through real-world experience and deeper exposure to entrepreneurship, finance, and investing, I discovered a new passion: building ventures and making strategic capital investments that drive scalable growth. Today, my ambition is rooted in venture capital and long-term investment strategy—where I can support innovative startups, identify high-potential markets, and help shape the future of business.
I'm a 22-year-old alumnus of the Darla Moore School of Business, where I studied Finance and Real Estate. My background, paired with a relentless curiosity, continues to fuel my journey from selling homes to scaling businesses.
“Never give up. Today is hard, tomorrow will be worse, but the day after tomorrow will be sunshine."
