[01]
The creator performs a comedic monologue from the point of view of a demanding angel investor who just wired $5,000. He starts by cheerfully asking if the founder is enjoying the money, then rapidly fires off a series of increasingly intense questions about updates, investment progress, and product development. To add pressure, he reveals it was his last $5,000 from his retirement account and concludes by menacingly telling the founder, 'Stanley,' that he's 'on your ass.'

The Guilt-Trip Gambit

POV: Your $5000 Angel investor 24 hours after wiring the money
Are you enjoying my money? Where's my updates? How's my investment going? Are you guys signing new contracts? Are you building a product? I don't know. That was my last $5,000 from my retirement account. I need you to feel that kind of pressure. I'm on your ass, Stanley.
