Comment on Blueseed: Visa-free startup platform on a ship 30 minutes from Silicon Valleyparent

Comments

The slides said "you choose where to incorporate" (slide 26).

I know its pretty easy to incorporate in the US, but AFAIK as soon as you do business with the US (rent servers from US company, have US-bank account) you are subject to the IRS (I don't know what rules apply). Why pay taxes and/or waste resources (tax consultants / lawyers) to a country that didn't want your business in the first place?

Because the primary point of Blueseed is to allow easy access to investments from Silicon Valley. Getting invested in without a convenient corporate and financial structure. I think the IRS is an acceptable tradeoff based on the vastly greater availability of investment in Silicon Valley vs anywhere else in the world.
