About Logan
Logan Yonavjak is a founder, investor, and leadership strategist focused on the intersection of entrepreneurship, human development, and positive impact. She is the Co-Founder & CEO of the Founder Readiness Institute, where she leads the creation of evidence-driven tools that help founders, accelerators, and investors understand and strengthen the people dynamics that make or break early-stage companies.
Logan has spent more than a decade in impact investing and early stage investing—working with organizations such as International Farming, Morgan Stanley, WRI, and Provenance Capital Group—while also serving as an advisor and angel investor for mission-driven startups. Her work blends rigorous people analytics with deep experience inside entrepreneurial ecosystems, giving her a front-row view into why startups succeed… and why they quietly implode.
A 2x founder and impact investor, Logan is passionate about helping entrepreneurs lead with more adaptability, self-awareness, and strategic clarity. She lives in North Carolina with her husband and daughter and is energized by building tools and communities that help founders become the kind of leaders their companies actually need.

Founder Readiness Institute
www.founderready.io
Our Readiness Engine™ ingests transcripts and artifacts from real work (meetings, 1:1s, project reviews, key chats) and turns them into a live “leadership readiness spine” for CHROs/COOs—scoring execution, cross‑functional decisions, resilience, and readiness for more scope—so they can make better calls on promotions, succession, and transformations and avoid costly leadership misfires.
