That might be a good idea, yeah. My worry is that I haven't really ever used Haskell commercially (I used it a bunch for things like Advent of Code, etc.), so I would have to learn a lot on the job - which I'm willing to do, but companies might look for somebody who's more proficient.

Then I would not recommend starting a company with Haskell as the language.
If you do want to eventually get a role using Haskell (which are rare), it is a good strategy to pick some commercial thing and implement it in Haskell. For instance, do a CRUD app using a postgresql app like Esqueleto/Persistent, Opaleye, etc. Or make a web app with Yesod (or even Scotty or Servant).
