Maybe you should showcase some of the press you are getting on you front page. This will help validate that you are serious and that it is a marked for your technology. Maybe make a section for possible use cases also?

Thanks for the feedback. Answering the "Why" is our biggest challenge. More clearly outlining the use cases would help.
