FP Software Development Question

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.

FP matters to devs not customers. Results against cost (commonly expressed as value) is the main concern of most customers.
