Logan Jones
Logan Jones is a co-creator and longtime host of Middle Tech, a media platform dedicated to telling the story of innovation, entrepreneurship, and the systems shaping our future. Since joining the show in 2019, Logan has helped produce and host more than 300 long-form conversations with founders, operators, investors, and policymakers building across Kentucky and beyond.
In parallel with Middle Tech, Logan has spent his career working inside early-stage startups. He was an early employee at SalesRiver (formerly Leadrilla), where he helped scale the company through enterprise growth and venture funding, and later worked at Fooji, supporting go-to-market efforts for national brands. He is currently an investor and leads business development efforts at Valent, an AI-native platform helping organizations accelerate mission-critical workflows.
That blend of hands-on startup experience and long-form storytelling has shaped Logan’s perspective on how companies grow — and why the industries that quietly underpin modern life matter more than most people realize. As Middle Tech continues to evolve, his work increasingly explores energy, infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, and other mission-critical systems, with a focus on how technology and intelligence are reshaping them.
Through Middle Tech, Logan remains committed to thoughtful, long-form conversations that educate, challenge assumptions, and connect people to the work that actually moves progress forward.
