Blueseed – A massive ship will be the Silicon Valley of the high seas


The latest project to have the interest of a number of technology firms across the globe is the Blueseed, a floating city located in international waters outside of Silicon Valley. Touted to be the Googleplex of the Sea, the project is co-founded by Max Marty and Dario Mutabdzija and lead by venture capitalist and PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel. The project is still in its finalisation stages with the company deciding between either a cruise ship or a barge to convert into a pirate island. The idea of the Blueseed project is to provide living accommodations, working space and entertainment facilities for approximately 1,000 customers paying between $1,200 and $3,000 each per month.

The vessel will reportedly be stationed 12 nautical miles from the coast of California, in international waters. This proximity to Silicon Valley is what is attracting non US start-up entrepreneurs as it will give them the opportunity to work so close to Silicon Valley without a US work visa. Through a tourist or a business Visa you can then easily travel to the mainland if the need arises or you can keep working on the Blueseed till your company grows large enough to make Silicon Valley its headquarters.
