How do I tell company A to wait if they’re ready to make an offer if I’m still interviewing with Company B. Company B just started and will likely take another 2/3 weeks....

Tell B to accelerate and tell A that you are in process with another firm and need to compare offers to make the most informed choice. That will actually also strengthen your negotiating position with A too

Stall stall stall. Have travel plans. Big work whatsit. Say you need to go on a fishing trip before you can really consider the offer. And tell B about timeline.

Don’t wait on the offer. Get the offer but ask for a longer decision window (ie date offer expires). Bird in the hand ....

Tell B you're more interested in them, but you cannot stall A indefinitely and the offer's too good to reject.
