I'm sure that most people (myself included!) aren't very interested in looking at investment banking software. However, I'm sure several competitors are; they probably have their own home-grown software. You would surely benefit by combining resources.

Similarly, I'm writing code to manage a home owners association; most people could care less -- but there are plenty of management companies that would be interested.

The point is, even though the benefits of open source may not be immediately evident, eventually someone will notice your project, and things will start to take off.
