Community Support
The people who keep Hive free
Hive is built by one person. It stays free at the base tier because of direct community support. No investors, no advertising, no agenda. Just people who believe in what this is becoming.
Engine Patron
$10,000 / year
Sponsors one engine being free for a full year. Named on that engine's about page. Your organisation directly keeps one tool free for everyone who needs it.
Platform Patron
$50,000 / year
Named prominently on this page. Your support keeps the entire platform running free. For foundations, organisations, and individuals who want to be part of what Hive is building.
Founding Patron
$250,000+
Permanent recognition on this page and in the Hive story. You were here at the beginning. For those who believe in the mission at its deepest level.
Current Patrons
Be the first.
Hive is new. The first patrons will be named here permanently, in the record of how this started.
Become a Patron
Tell us who you are and why you want to support Hive. We'll follow up with a Stripe payment link and get your name on this page.
Patrons have no influence over what we build, how we build it, or what we say.
Patronage is support, not ownership. The Hive is a social experiment — you are an investor in the idea of free tools for everyone, not a stakeholder in its direction. The community directs what gets built. Sonny builds it.
