Posting your startup in r/startups_promotion
Yes. r/startups_promotion 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 a genuine milestone, win, or progress moment resonate best. Top posts celebrate early customers, revenue milestones, or user growth—often with a personal, authentic tone rather than a polished pitch.
Self-promotion rules
You can promote your startup once, but only if it's live on a real domain (no temp URLs). Posts must include actual descriptive text about what your startup does, who it's for, and why it matters—not just a link. You must be the owner/co-owner/partner, write original content for this sub, and keep it startup-related and kind.
