Startup Fundraising Keynote Speaker Cover

[Format] Landscape 16:9 gig cover, dark premium keynote style. Photographic cut-out composited on a flat near-black gradient field with a soft vignette. No watermark, no personal names. [Layout] The frame splits roughly 55/45. The left two thirds is a charcoal-to-black gradient holding stacked type; the right third is occupied by a person cut-out whose shoulder breaks the panel edge and whose head sits in the upper right third, top of the head just inside the frame. A faint thin arc of warm orange sweeps behind the subject from the centre of the frame out to the right edge at shoulder height, kept at very low contrast so it reads as a glow rather than a shape. A single horizontal row of small marks is pinned along the lower left about one third up from the bottom, evenly spaced. Generous empty space fills the vertical centre-left; there are no plates, borders or panels, the type floats directly on the dark field. [Subject] A man in his early thirties, short dark hair, three-quarter turn toward camera, waist-up and cropped at the hips, arms folded across his chest, wearing a black blazer over a black crew-neck tee. Soft key light from camera-left, gentle fill on the shadow side, confident closed-mouth smile. He fills the right 40% of the frame and overlaps the orange arc behind his shoulders. [Headline] Three stacked text blocks, flush left in the left half. Line 1 is large, light-weight white grotesque in sentence case with an oversized dollar figure: 'I've raised $1M'. Lines 2 and 3 sit below in medium-weight grey sans at roughly half that size, sentence case: 'and I will help your startup raise funds' then 'with investor-ready pitch deck', the words 'pitch deck' set in white so the line ends on a bright note. In the lower right, beside the subject's elbow, a two-line credential stack: an uppercase gold serif line 'UC BERKELEY' over the white serif word 'Haas', keeping the gold-over-white serif recipe. [Badges] One horizontal row pinned along the lower third of the left field, left to right: the Y Combinator mark, an orange rounded square holding a white block 'Y' with the orange lowercase wordmark 'Combinator' beside it; the 'techstars_' wordmark in a white squared geometric sans ending in a short underscore; the Microsoft logo, its pinwheel of four equal squares in coral, green, blue and yellow followed by the white lowercase wordmark 'Microsoft'; and at the far right the gold-and-white serif credential stack described above. [Mood] Near-black charcoal with a single warm orange accent line and one gold serif touch, everything else cool white and grey. Quiet, credible, founder-adjacent; at thumbnail size the big white line and the lit face on the right are the two anchors.
