Blueseed is a project to station a ship 12 nautical miles from the coast of San Francisco, in international waters. The location will allow startup entrepreneurs from anywhere in the world to start or grow their company near Silicon Valley, without the need for a US work visa. The ship will be converted into a coworking and co-living space, and will have high-speed Internet access and daily transportation to the mainland via ferry boat. So far, over one thousand entrepreneurs from 60+ countries have expressed interest in living on the ship.

Max, the son of two Cuban immigrants, has been passionate about entrepreneurship and technology from a young age. He earned his undergraduate degrees in Global Political Economy & Philosophy from Muhlenberg College in PA, and his MBA from the University of Miami.

Before joining Blueseed, he was Director of Business Strategy at The Seasteading Institute, the world’s only think tank researching ocean communities.
