<div id="urb-ads-toc-box" class="post-ads-toc-box urb-ads-toc" style="display:none;"></div><p>Imagine heading out from San Francisco to a bustling technology hub closer than Silicon Valley &hellip; yet an entire country away. Set only a dozen miles from the coast, this incredible incubator is planned for international waters and could be the world&rsquo;s most high-tech <a href="https://weburbanist.com/2012/08/20/water-worlds-15-real-floating-towns-ocean-cities/">floating city</a>.</p>

<p><a href="http://blueseed.co">Blueseed</a> is currently seeking investors to back this audacious play and let them set up shop a proverbial stone&rsquo;s throw away from the heart of West Coast innovation. The company has founders familiar with the immigration issues of the United States &ndash; two are, respectively, from Serbia and Romania, and a third is the child of Cuban immigrants.</p>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/international-venture-funding-model.jpg"><img decoding="async" alt="international venture funding model" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/international-venture-funding-model.jpg" width="468" height="556"></a></p>
<p>Via ArcticStartup: <em>&ldquo;they plan to start accommodation prices off at around $1500 a month, and transportation will be provided to the mainland by a daily ferry. Internet connectivity will be provided via a point-to-point 40Gbps laser link with satellite link backup. They are also looking at additional backup solutions using submarine cable and potentially a series of WiMAX relay buoys. A visa is not required to earn a paycheck on Blueseed, and most residents will be able to travel back and forth to the mainland with a business/pleasure B1 Visa.&rdquo;</em></p>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/international-technology-community-platforms.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="international technology community platforms" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/international-technology-community-platforms.jpg" width="468" height="800"></a></p>
<p>Like other incubators, Blueseed plans to take a stake in startups that start on its shores (or rather: ships and floating platforms), something that startup schools like YCombinator and TechStars have found to be a successful business model in the past. Its fleet would include living and working vessels, daily ferries and potentially (eventually) desalination plants and other means of creating full self-sufficiency on the open seas. Who knows &ndash; perhaps it would even be mobile in the long run.</p>
