Aaron Johnson

Aaron Johnson is a technology executive and angel investor based in the Spokane-Coeur d'Alene area of Washington State. He describes himself as "a technologist by trade, businessperson by practice," bridging the gap between technology and business throughout his career. His professional trajectory has spanned roles across technology operations, financial services, and entrepreneurship, giving him a multidisciplinary lens on early-stage investing.

Johnson served as Chief Operating Officer at Ophrys LLC, a Seattle-based investment management firm that was later rebranded as Oak Harbor Capital, LLC. Oak Harbor Capital, founded in 2010 by William S. Weinstein, is a specialized firm that purchases, services, and recovers consumer receivables, combining law, technology, data analytics, and industry experience. The firm has deployed over $1 billion in investments and employs a team of approximately 50 professionals. Johnson held a minority ownership stake (less than 5%) in the firm, gaining deep exposure to alternative asset management, regulatory compliance, and data-driven investment strategies.

In October 2021, Johnson founded The Stealth Pigeon, L.L.C., registered in Liberty Lake, Washington, which serves as his vehicle for angel investing and advisory work. He also has experience with Edge R&D, further reflecting his roots in the technology sector. With a business degree from Gonzaga University and years of operating experience across technology and financial services, Johnson brings a practitioner's perspective to seed-stage investing, particularly in companies where technology intersects with business operations and financial services.
