Posting your startup in r/StartupAccelerators
Yes. r/StartupAccelerators 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 frame self-promotion as a request for help, feedback, or community collaboration (cofounder searches, idea validation, takeover offers) perform better than straightforward product announcements. Personal stories about the building process and honest discussions about founder challenges also gain traction.
Self-promotion rules
Self-promotion is allowed and encouraged, especially in designated threads like 'What's your startup idea?' Self-promotion works best when framed as genuine discussion—asking for feedback, seeking cofounders, or sharing lessons learned—rather than pure product pitches. Posts should provide context and invite community engagement rather than just advertising.
