Along similar lines to Radio Hauraki, way back in the 1960s beating the then broadcasting laws by positioning their ship outside the (then) three mile territorial limit, Blueseed is looking to do something similar for foreign entrepreneurs in Northern California.
That is, set up a platform (also known as a seastead) 12 miles offshore in international waters, with regular ferries to the mainland – which just happens to have Silicon Valley and its associated innovation ecosystem just down the road.
