New Business Network ‘Starien’ Launches Across Causeway Coast & Glens

A new digital business network, Starien, has launched across the Causeway Coast & Glens, offering local business owners a free platform to connect, communicate and stay informed.

The platform, available on the web, iOS, and Android, has been developed specifically with local enterprises in mind. It aims to provide a more structured and focused environment for business owners to engage with one another, share insights and keep up to date with relevant developments in the area.

Starien has been designed as a community-led network, where members can create detailed profiles to showcase their business, experience and areas of expertise. These “rich profiles” are intended to make it easier for users to discover and connect with other businesses across the borough, encouraging collaboration and meaningful relationships.

At its core, the network functions as a central hub for business-related information. Members can access a live newsfeed featuring updates, discussions and opportunities relevant to the local business community. The platform also enables direct communication through private messaging, allowing users to connect more efficiently without the noise often associated with larger, less focused online groups.

The launch comes at a time when traditional forms of networking are continuing to evolve, with many businesses seeking more flexible and accessible ways to stay connected. By offering a free, digital-first solution, Starien is positioning itself as an alternative space for business owners to engage on their own terms.

Developers of the platform say the focus is on quality interaction rather than volume, with an emphasis on maintaining a spam-free environment. The aim is to ensure that conversations remain relevant, constructive and beneficial to those using the network.

While the initial rollout is centred on the Causeway Coast & Glens, there are plans to expand the platform to other parts of Northern Ireland in the future.

For now, business owners in the borough are being encouraged to join, complete their profiles and begin engaging with the community as the network continues to grow.
