Last night, another lively seasteading event was held at The Fiddler’s Green Irish Pub and Restaurant, located just a quick walk from the Millbrae BART/CalTrain station. Eating, drinking, socializing and seasteading-related discussion are staples at every meetup, but each one is made unique by the formal and informal presentation topics and, of course, the people in attendance.

Former Seasteading Institute legal and business strategists Dario Mutabdzija and Max Marty continue to make waves with their "shipsteading" startup, Blueseed.

So, over the coming months we’d like to showcase some of the most interesting and practical developments in seasteading.

The Seasteading Institute – October 2011 Newsletter

Dear Friend of the Seasteading Institute,

Seasteading is poised to move forward in some big ways, including a new venture being launched by former Seasteading Institute staff. Max Marty and Dario Mutabdzija, former directors of business and legal strategy respectively, are starting a seasteading venture named Blueseed. Blueseed will create a visa-free technology incubator for startups and knowledge workers in international waters off the coast of the San Francisco Bay Area. For more information, visit blueseed.co.
