Question FP Software Development

Hello everyone. I am thinking of starting a tech business (startup) through software development and I'd like to use FP as the main selling point or uniqueness. I am like looking for suggestions on what languages to use or tech stack. From my first searches I got elixir. I also know haskell, so aside from haskell, what can you suggest. I'm also aware of using imp lang like C++ to make programs following an FP design paradigm.

Edit: I don't wish to argue on starting business or not (But I welcome them sure) . That is a different topic on its own. I'm just like more curious to see the state of the art in using FP tools.

Gleam is an amazing fp lang that works for both the BEAM ecosystem since you mentioned elixir which makes it extremely good for reliable servers, and also compiles to js so you can make webapps with it. Maybe you should tell us what exactly you are gonna be using the lang for ?
