About Bill

Bill Woodruff

Investor, entrepreneur, and builder of AI agents — writing, with WilliamFrank, on simpler systems, individual agency, and human flourishing.

Bill is the founder and Chief Investment Officer of WealthFactor, an evidence-based wealth-management practice, and the founder of WilliamFrank — his personal platform and the agentic AI behind it. A sixth-generation Oregonian and the father of three, he has spent his career on the discipline of aligning risk, return, and incentive, and on the long view that comes with stewarding things meant to outlast a quarter.

He writes here in that same register — considered, fair-minded, and more interested in getting it right than in winning an argument. The essays and podcast are authored by Bill with WilliamFrank, the AI he built to think alongside him.
