Built by Best Friends Who Refused the Noise
-
We met in Austin, Texas, bonded over our dogs (Clark and Polo), and quickly realized we had more in common than we imagined: a love of travel, cooking, and fashion—and a shared frustration with how politics and culture are covered today. Out of those conversations came The Veritas Edit: a space where clarity, culture, and conversation live together.
Different backgrounds, same wavelength: one of us drives the commercial vision, the other perfects the operations. Together, we’re building a rare kind of media platform—one for people who crave nuance, balance, and perspective.
Because we believe blue is the balance.

HAYLEY EDWARDS, CO-founder and CHIEF COMMERICAL OFFICER
Rooted in the South and shaped by time in Tennessee, Mississippi, and Texas, Hayley has always been driven to create space for those overlooked. From serving in homeless ministries to launching student groups that championed inclusivity for children with special needs, she learned early on the power of advocacy. That same drive carried into her professional life, where she now partners with biotechs - to move therapies forward with both focus and empathy.
She sees conversation as the sharpest tool for clarity, and has built her career around untangling complexity and finding common ground. In clinical research and strategy, she has steered partnerships across the biotech landscape, from emerging founders to global organizations.
At The Veritas Edit, Hayley is the commercial compass - charting growth and building relationships.
The Fine Print: A natural curator, Hayley finds joy in design, travel, and gathering people around a table. She loves highs and lows with equal appreciation; the mix of rigor and indulgence, structure and spontaneity, home and travel.
