Christy Johnson
Founding Partner
Christy is a Partner at Fireroad Ventures, an inception-stage technology investor focused on solving business-critical problems for small and medium-sized business owner-operators. Since joining Fireroad in 2023, she has worked directly with founders on validating problem-solution fit and sharpening their market positioning with both customers and investors.
Christy brings experience across venture, nonprofit operations, and digital marketing. She served as Chief Operating Officer at OCEAN Programs, an accelerator whose portfolio has grown to over $1 billion in value, where she led operations, communications, and earned revenue. Prior to that, she spent over four years as Executive Director of Advancement and Digital Products at Athletes in Action, a global nonprofit, where she quintupled the organization’s active donor count and doubled donor retention through a unified omni-channel strategy.
Christy holds an M.A. in Christian Formation and Ministry from Wheaton College and a B.S. in Music, Worship, and Communications from Kuyper College.
Christy is passionate about helping founders flourish in every dimension of their lives — not just in their businesses. She describes it as a gift to walk with founders on the startup journey and an honor to steward the capital that investors trust her with.
