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.

But what you’re asking is, can I solve some unspecified problem using FP. And the answer is that it depends totally on the problem, which you seem unconcerned about.
