How would material on a website provide trust, without a means to verify that information?

While names, locations etc doesn't necessarily make something trustworthy - the absence of them do feel way more sketchy.
What other way is there? Have a button to “let the CEO call me and pinky promise me that the website info is truthful, complete and correct”? Would you believe it then?
That's obviously not what he's suggesting? He's just saying (and correct me if I'm wrong) that, for a company whose business is based in no small part on trust, it's a bit weird to not have any information about any of the people involved in the project.
I looked for the founders bio, a company contact info. There is nothing on their site. All I saw was a letter in the "About" section by the founder.
You might have gotten to know these guys after various meetings and due diligence process. There is nothing on their website that sells me on trusting them or the company.
I had to go the "Careers" section to see the location of the company.
When you're in the business of selling trust, you really need to focus on selling trust first and not technology (maybe they're connected ultimately) but I just don't feel I can trust this company based on the materials provided on their website.
Hope this feedback is meaningful.
