Posting your startup in r/ladybusiness
Yes. r/ladybusiness 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 ask genuine questions about business challenges or share personal experiences and lessons learned from the founder's own journey resonate here. The community responds to vulnerability, relationship-building insights, and requests for advice rather than promotional content.
Self-promotion rules
This sub prohibits spam and cryptocurrency/NFT content with zero tolerance—even one violation can result in a permaban. All posts must be flaired, on-topic to women/non-binary entrepreneurship, and professional in tone. Self-promotion of products or services is not permitted; the focus is on business advice, personal experiences, and community support. (Note: this sub is strict about self-promotion, lead with pure value.)
