Tell me what you need.
Pay what it's worth to you.
I'm Drew Cleaver. I help people own their corner of the internet — your domain, your email, your privacy stack, and if you want to go all the way, the hardware that runs it all. No retainers, no lock-in, no subscription creep.
The internet used to be something you owned.
Now most people rent it. They rent their email from Google, their identity from LinkedIn, their writing from Substack. One policy change away from being deplatformed. One acquisition away from being migrated.
I build the other thing. Boring, durable, yours. A real email address. A privacy stack that actually works. Hardware in your house if you want to go all the way. Infrastructure that outlives whatever app is hot this year.

How pricing works
There's no price list. You read something I wrote, or someone sent you, or you're building the same kind of life I am. By the time you're filling out the form you've already done most of the qualifying.
Tell me what you need and what it's worth to you. If you're early and lean, pay less. If you're flush and want to support the work, pay more. The work and the standard don't change. I'd rather have you on the roster than not.
