Blueseed Raising Money To Park Ship Full of Startups Near SF

Nishat Kurwa on Thursday, Oct. 4th

“How awesome would it be if there could be an environment that would be dedicated to helping entrepreneurs…grow and scale their companies that could be right here next to Silicon Valley that could be on something like a cruise ship?”

That’s what Blueseed founder Max Marty asked himself during his first job out of business school, working for the Seasteading Institute.

He came up with a plan to dock a ship near Half Moon Bay that would be a floating community for startup founders, that would return to port every two years to deal with maintenance and safety issues.  In Part 1 of our podcast, we discuss how he got to the business plan.
