Posting your startup in r/SaaS
Yes. r/SaaS is one of the subreddits that lets founders share their own product, as long as you follow its self-promotion rules and give the community more than you take. The rules and the post formats that get approved are below.
Posts that share personal struggles, lessons learned, or observations about the SaaS industry itself—especially about AI trends, company culture, founder experiences, or operational challenges. The tone is candid and relatable rather than polished.
Self-promotion rules
Self-promotion is allowed but strictly limited: you can mention or link to your product max once every 60 days, and you must disclose any affiliation upfront. Content must provide genuine value and context—naked links or product pitches are spam and result in bans. Accounts focused solely on promotion will be removed.
