My teenage brother pitched a startup deck during family dinner.
By @quinnactually · Family
He printed out formal slides and demanded our parents invest $2,000 into his automated reselling idea between bites of lasagna. It went from mildly ambitious to unbearable secondhand embarrassment in thirty seconds.
The full story
my little brother got obsessed with finance tiktok and decided family dinner was shark tank. he pulled out actual printed pitch decks asking my parents for $2,000 in seed money for an ai vintage thrifting bot. when my dad tried to change the subject to the game he hit him with 'your hesitation is why your portfolio underperforms.' the cringe was so intense i almost crawled under the dining table.

What people are saying
@elliesorta — L behavior.
@maemaybe — Did he actually make a real financial model or was it literally just buzzwords from short-form videos?
@niaagain — lmaooo
@paigeee — He is clearly projecting deep insecurity about his future by attempting to assert financial dominance over his own father.
@westbh — nothing builds family warmth quite like insulting your fathers index funds over garlic bread.
