Career
Blueseed is a startup community project that Marty co-founded in July 2011[4] with Seasteading Institute colleague Dario Mutabdzija and seasteading ambassador Dan Dascalescu.[5][6] The project is preparing to launch a ship near Silicon Valley to serve as a startup community and entrepreneurial incubator without United States work visa requirements. The platform is set to offer living and office space, high-speed Internet connectivity, and regular ferry service to the mainland.[5][6] The existence of the project is due to the lack of U.S. visas for entrepreneurs. Instead, customers will use the much easier to obtain B-1/B-2 visas to travel to the mainland, while work will be done exclusively on the ship.[5][6]
On July 31, 2013, Marty announced he was stepping back from day-to-day operations at Blueseed and taking on the role of Chairman of the Board of Directors.[7]
