Julian Johnson is a general partner and co-founder at Tejo Ventures, a Lisbon-based firm structuring Portugal Golden Visa-eligible investments around renewable energy and sustainable infrastructure.
Resident in Portugal since 2016, with a background spanning angel investing, real estate development, and fund management — including the founding and sale of three companies — he brings an operator’s perspective to one of the Golden Visa’s most distinctive fund offerings.
Tejo Ventures channels qualifying capital into solar, battery storage, and clean energy projects across Portugal and Iberia.
Johnson frames the Golden Visa as both a residency pathway and a policy tool — one that allows investors to access Portugal while directing capital toward projects that support the country’s energy transition. That combination of residency eligibility and environmental thesis is what Tejo Ventures describes as its defining edge: a fund built for Golden Visa applicants who want their investment to do more than qualify.
