It is time for Startup School to take to the ocean.
I think we should charter one of these vessels and sale around the South Pacific while building our companies.
We could fit 100 companies on board, charge each $100/day and turn a profit:
"You may wish to know this because, if ever you had an irrational desire to charter one, now would be the time. This time last year, an Aframax tanker capable of carrying 80,000 tons of cargo would cost £31,000 a day ($50,000). Now it is about £3,400 ($5,500)."
Anyone want on board?

- hughprime 17y agoWow, $5500 a night is probably cheaper than a top stateroom on the Queen Mary 2, and a helluva lot bigger. On the downside, it probably doesn't include fuel or docking fees. It would make an excellent lair for a supervillain, though.
- pyre 17y agoBeing a supervillain with a 'landlord' that you are renting you lair from is would be the equivalent of Bill Gates being a billionaire living in his mother's basement.
