Talk to a VC as well. Or more than one, and ideally ones that are in the medical device space and have done similar deals with others from your university. If they are interested then they can apply pressure on the university too, to get to a solution that works for everyone.
The New Zealand Active Investor Plus resident program requires $5m NZD, which is under $3m USD, but that would take everything. There is another program mooted where you buy a business for less than that.
NZ’s Active Investor Plus program is more like EB-5 than this. AIP requires that migrants invest their funds, not donate them.
The Growth category requires fewer residency days and a NZ$5m (~US$3m) investment in “growth” companies or funds, including VC funds and companies that VC funds invest with.
The Balanced category requires double the investment and has a wider range of asset classes, but also a longer duration and higher number of days of residency required.
If you copy the generated url and put it into the entry field (and repeat) then you end up at a bitcoin site. As Bubblerings has pointed out that has malware.

Uh, what? I just tried it a few times, and it seems to just follow the redirect each time, always ending up back at the original target URL I entered. How many times did you have to "repeat" to make that happen?
> As Bubblerings has pointed out that has malware.
No, that's not what BubbleRings said. BubbleRings said one site on VirusTotal reported it was malware. That sounds like a false positive because the URL is fishy, which is the entire point of the joke here.
I clicked and there is absolutely is content that is not acceptable, to me, visible on the front page.
Everyone has a different opinions of what’s acceptable, which is why we have ratings systems so society can draw a line.
If a platform doesn’t curate then governments or the legal system, or lobbyists targeting payment providers will step in.
I see a lot of violent stuff, which I think many parents wouldn't find acceptable. I also see a little bit of weeb shit, which again may be unacceptable. I don't see anything which is obviously pornographic; the closest I see to that is an ad for Witcher 3, which I know to have nudity which could reasonably be called pornographic, however nothing in the ad hints at this. It is clearly a violent game though.
And again, studies have shown violence in video games does not increase violence in kids as they grow, in fact it tends to be an outlet, so it should be up to parents to control what they see as acceptable for the kid they are raising.
This push for governments to restrict EVERYONE's kids because a group of parents dislike something is insane, if you don't want your kid to play/watch something, the enforce some damn rules on your own kid.
If you are a US citizen then US tax will apply to you wherever you are. People form other countries switch off their home tax if they do not meet residency requirements.
There is no capital gains or wealth tax at all in New Zealand, but only for domestic investments. For offshore investments there is a deemed return that you treat as income, so if your wealth is tied up in illiquid stock then it can be dire.
> If you are a US citizen then US tax will apply to you wherever you are.
I just learned about this fact this year or so and it's absolutely bananas how people are just accepting this as a normal thing. In what world does it make sense to pay taxes to a country based on citizenship rather than actual location/residency?
Look at London. Draw a line west. Compare climates. Now do the same for New York and go East. Ocean currents are what keeps London warm and NYC cool.
So this is a huge deal. I’ve been down to the Southern Ocean, lectured all the way by scientists.
North of the Antarctic is the only place on earth where the sea can rotate completely around the world without hitting a land mass, and it is deemed the engine of the world’s oceans. Those oceans are what have absorbed most of the excess CO2 that we’ve emitted, and a lot captured has been buried in deep ocean. But the ocean warms, and can capture less CO2, and bad days are ahead.
This news signals not just a slowing in that absorption for an area, which not just sends more CO2 into the atmosphere, but has more terrifyingly unknown downstream implications for other ocean streams.
How do ocean currents keep NYC cool? I thought it was perturbation of atmospheric circulation by the Rocky Mountains, which causes higher latitude air to sweep down over eastern North America.
For that matter, the subsequent northward return of the air also causes some warming in Europe, not just warming from the Gulf Stream.
The Gulf Stream actually warms the eastern US, btw.
Consider buying a bike in Europe instead - generally cheaper and you can get something more appropriate to the terrain.
