Frequently asked questions
What is Startiva?
Startiva is an Android app that shows business ideas tailored to a specific city or district: which businesses are in demand there, how much capital they need and whether a vehicle or licences are required.
Where do the ideas come from?
Every idea is matched against data about the place: population, tourism, industry, coast, winter tourism, universities, rural areas and regional products. An idea only appears where it makes sense. In the app, an unlocked idea's report also shows how many similar businesses are registered in the area.
What is free?
Downloading the app and seeing the hint for every idea: sector, type of work, capital, vehicle, licences, work mode and area signals.
What do I get when I unlock an idea?
The exact business and platform, why it fits that place, how many similar businesses are in the area, how common it is in the region and country, and the first steps to get started.
Which countries does it cover?
20 countries: Mexico, the United States, Spain, Brazil, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Australia, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Türkiye. It also shows jobs abroad with worker shortages.
Is my data stored on the phone?
No. Your account, coins and unlocked ideas are stored on our servers. If you change phones, sign in and everything is still there.
Does Startiva guarantee the business will work?
No. Startiva helps you find and compare opportunities with data; before investing, always confirm demand, permits and costs in your area.
