RPJohnston Ventures LLC

A holding company for software ventures · est. 2026 · Austin, TX

Founder

Paul Johnston

Engineering Manager for Cloud DevOps at Virtana, leading distributed teams and cloud security work by day. Cambridge-educated, Austin-based, and building small, sharp tools on the side — starting with a way to know what a pickleball match is worth before you play it.

Ventures

Every product this company has filed to date. The filings, domains and deployments behind them are Two Suitcases's work.

No. 001

PickleEQ

Brings the fun back to pickleball ratings — track the social games that make up most of your week, then get a post-match debrief from Nell, an AI coach who reads how you actually handled yourself on court: your temper, your partner, your line calls.

No. 002

Two Suitcases

Does the company filings, the domain and DNS, the website and the payment plumbing for people starting their own business — so they reach their first customer instead of their first IRS form. Fixed fee, equity, or both.

No. 003

Inchmark

Lets a trainer record a client's body measurements and lets the client read them back — the numbers a scale never shows you, tracked over time on iOS, Android and the web.

No. 004

Terrace

The songbook for the away end. Every chant a club actually sings — the tune behind it, the player it's about, and when in the match it goes up — so you can join in on the second verse instead of mouthing along. Works with no signal, because pub wifi on a matchday never does.

No. 005

In the works

The next entry in the ledger hasn't been filed yet.

Client work

Other people's products, built here through Two Suitcases.

In stealth

Two consumer apps in private development with an outside founder, both in the same corner of personal care: one that knows which treatments can safely share a week, one that reads a face from a photograph.
