Founder Statement About

About49: Founder Statement About

A single dark card split into a founder portrait on one side and a pull-quote with a signature line, stat trio, and CTA on the other, all inside one bg-foreground panel rather than a plain section background.

Radix flavor

npx shadcn add "https://ui.beste.co/r/about49?email=YOUR_EMAIL&license_key=YOUR_KEY"

Base UI flavor

npx shadcn add "https://ui.beste.co/r-base/about49?email=YOUR_EMAIL&license_key=YOUR_KEY"

This installs the block to components/beste/block/about49.tsx, the badge6 and button1 components it uses for the eyebrow label and CTA button, and its dependencies.

Quick start

The installed file exports about49Demo alongside the block: the exact props behind the preview above. Spread it to get a working section in one line.

import { About49, about49Demo } from "@/components/beste/block/about49";

export default function AboutPage() {
  return <About49 {...about49Demo} />;
}

Then replace the demo with your own props. Written out, the same setup looks like this:

import { About49 } from "@/components/beste/block/about49";

export default function AboutPage() {
  return (
    <About49
      label="Why we started"
      quote="Most companies sell hours. We wanted to sell <strong>outcomes you could measure</strong>."
      founder={{ name: "Amara Boateng", role: "Founder & CEO" }}
      image={{
        src: "https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1617791291756-582b2dce0b3e?w=800&h=1000&fit=crop",
        alt: "Amara Boateng, founder, in the office",
      }}
      button={{ label: "Read the story", href: "https://beste.co" }}
      stats={[
        { value: "2019", label: "Founded in Lagos" },
        { value: "80+", label: "Products shipped" },
        { value: "6", label: "Senior people" },
      ]}
    />
  );
}

Props

type Founder = { name: string; role: string };
type ImageItem = { src: string; alt: string };
type ActionLink = { label: string; href: string };
type StatItem = { value: string; label: string };

Behavior notes

• The entire card is bg-foreground text-background, so Badge6 is given labelClassName="text-background/70" and Button1 is given tone="primary" to stay legible against the dark fill, rather than relying on the components' light-surface defaults.
• The layout is lg:grid-cols-[0.85fr_1.15fr] with the portrait as a flush-bleed image column (min-h-full on lg) and the quote/stats column carrying the panel's padding; the portrait scales up slightly on hover (group-hover/about49:scale-105).
• The founder's name and role are preceded by a short horizontal accent rule (h-px w-10 bg-primary) instead of an avatar or icon.
• The stats row is a fixed grid-cols-3; passing fewer than three stats leaves empty grid tracks rather than the columns re-flowing, and more than three wraps to a second row.
• The content column uses justify-between so the quote/founder block anchors to the top and the stats/button block anchors to the bottom of the panel, independent of quote length.
