Will Edwards

Yo, have you heard of Will Edwards? The guy’s a total beast in the startup game. He’s the CEO and co-founder of OfOne, a Y Combinator-backed startup that’s basically turning fast-food drive-thrus into sci-fi with AI. They built this crazy software that automates order-taking – like, no more annoying humans, just real-time AI crushing it. Launched in 2022, but this dude’s been grinding in the tech world for a minute.

Before OfOne, Will was VP of Business Dev at R-Zero – a company doing some advanced stuff in health tech, from July 2021 to Nov 2022. Prior to that, he was VP of Revenue at Crew, which got snapped up by Square in 2021. So, dude’s got the hustle – building companies, closing deals, scaling shit. And he’s been around the block at Intuit too, working in corporate development and as an RDP Associate. Basically, he’s seen the ins and outs of big tech, startups, and everything in between.

What’s super interesting is his process – from studying Econ-Math at Wisconsin-Madison to jumping into startups straight outta college. Dude’s always been into understanding the numbers, the systems, the tech. That mix of math brain and startup hustle? That’s what’s fueling his fire. He’s not just some guy chasing shiny tech – he sees real problems, like how to make fast-food service faster, smarter, better – and he jumps in headfirst.

And now, with OfOne, he’s really jumping into the future. The company’s based out in SF/Oakland, backed by heavy VC, and they’re all about deploying AI into real-world stuff – restaurants, drive-thrus – you name it. It’s like he’s taking everything he’s learned from big companies and his own startups and applying it to shake up an industry that’s been pretty stuck in the stone age.

Honestly, what I get from Will is that he’s not just doing this for the money – though, no cap, he’s definitely building something big. It’s about solving real problems, making life easier, and pushing tech to do what humans used to do – but faster, smarter, cooler. It’s clear he’s got that entrepreneurial fire, the kind that’s not about hype but about changing the game. The fact that he’s been through YC too? That’s just the cherry on top – he’s legit, he’s proven, and he’s only getting started.

So yeah, Will Edwards? The real deal. A tech guy with the brains, the hustle, and the vision to crush industries and make our lives a little easier. Keep an eye on him – he’s gonna do some crazy shit.
