# About Starise

Starise is a review management SaaS for local businesses in Dubai, the US, the UK, and internationally. Founded 2025 by Max Zhou.

## Approach

The gap between 4.0 and 4.6 stars decides whether a diner walks in or scrolls past. Most business owners don't have time to reply to every review or systematically collect new ones. Starise automates both.
