Which hero direction feels right for this founder-focused brand?

While working on the homepage for Sean Parsons, a brand focused on empowering non-technical founders to launch tech startups, I explored two different visual directions for the hero section. Same message, same structure, just a different mood and color system.

Option 1 - Warm Olive. Dark, grounded, and editorial, giving a warm, established, expert feel.

Option 2 - Light Purple. Clean, modern, and vibrant, giving a fresh, SaaS-like, approachable feel.

Would love your honest UX/UI take, which direction feels more trustworthy, engaging, and aligned with a founder-focused brand, and why?

I like worm Olive most because it has different personality

Created these interactive animation variants for a section in my recent web design project.

Which one do you think grabs users’ attention and keeps them engaged? Linear ✲ or Dotted⚪?
