That's because Cuba is all media hype, very few deals have actually been done and the Cuban government hasn't shown any signs of allowing greater economic freedom. Most Cubans don't even have internet as of now
Clever media play by stripe though
Clever media play by stripe though
Stripe's move is clever but not because of the "media play" only ... they are doing the best thing an US business can do regarding an opening Cuba right now, they will see tons of cuban businesses applying right away, and I bet a very high cash-flow, what's not to like?
Also, I can vouch for Merchise Startups (the guys Stripe are partnering with), and they know their ground, that's something you can say about (sadly) too few people in Cuba, regarding business, entrepreneurship and startups anyway. So the move gets clever by the minute...
