Overview
Blueseed is the upcoming startup community on a cruise ship stationed in Silicon Valley's [international waters](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territorial_waters). The location, half an hour by ferry from the coast of Silicon Valley, enables entrepreneurs from anywhere in the world to start or scale companies on the ship without requiring U.S. work visas. They can travel to the mainland for business or recreation using easier-to-obtain business/tourism (B1/B2) visas. As of 2014, Blueseed had received interest from [over 500 startups](http://blueseed.com/come-aboard/results), and has been covered in [every major media outlet](http://blueseed.com/press). The company has reserved $9M from an [undisclosed investor](http://video.foxbusiness.com/v/2257980403001/a-floating-lab-for-high-tech-startups/) and is looking for $21M more.

Participated · Equity · Oct 2025
Founded in 2020, Tokyo-based CoA Nexus focuses on increasing labor mobility in deep-tech R&D by leveraging artificial intelligence to analyze publications and patents and build a proprietary database of more than 300,000 researchers. Its core product, CoA Researcher, is an AI matching platform dedicated to experienced R&D professionals seeking full-time or side-gig opportunities with corporations, university spin-outs, and other research-intensive organizations. The service covers domestic and overseas researchers, positioning itself as a unique global solution for hard-to-fill deep-tech roles. CoA Nexus is also expanding customer acquisition efforts in the United States and aims to accelerate worldwide rollout. With the fresh capital, the company plans to strengthen hiring across sales and marketing, invest in branding through events and online initiatives, and enhance its researcher database to support global expansion. Management sees the current shift in demand from software engineers to deep-tech researchers as a major tailwind. Financial details beyond the recent funding were not disclosed in the article.
