The Bro: Only invests because he thinks you are cool. No interest whatsoever in seeing you succeed. The mother: Wants people to know that he gave birth to your idea. The loan shark: Calls every week to ask you about his money. The infomercial: Only talks about how awesome your life/starup would be if you did X (something they came up with).
