I still don't fully get what the product is. In the launch, you state that "Metaphor has its root in DataHub [...] However, Metaphor is not a managed version of DataHub". My observation:
- perhaps intentionally, but you really go to great lengths to obfuscate what the product actually does. How is it NOT DataHub? Is it a new implementation of DataHub? Is it extending DataHub somehow? (I would expect the latter, but it's unclear exactly how it extends it, and you never mention exactly how it's different).
- it's very weird to place that important description in "who we are" (I almost skipped it), instead of e.g. "How does Metaphor work".
- lastly, I kinda' feel that this needs to be in the homepage somewhere, not in a blog post somewhere. Not sure who you're targeting with your marketing copy - but if you're targeting engineers who'd deploy a data catalog, this can't be all fluff. Give me something concrete that I can work with: I'm interested in the domain, I want to implement this in my company, but I need to understand what you're offering. Saying that you have a "platform" tells me nothing. Tell me why I should use Metaphor instead of e.g. deploying DataHub myself.
