Can you promote in r/startupdach?
Willkommen in der größten deutschsprachigen Startup-Community! Hier treffen sich Gründer:innen, Investor:innen und alle, die sich für Startups in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz interessieren.
The short answer
Briefly disclose your founder role and focus on giving helpful, non-promotional value; ask mods if you plan repeated or overt promotion.
What works here
- One-off presentations of your company/product framed as professional exchange
- Answering questions with relevant experience and mentioning your startup for transparency
What gets posts removed
- Repeated or excessive self-promotion without moderator approval
- Hidden advertising, disguised promotional posts, or posting surveys as ads
- Posting mainly to recruit customers without providing value
Where this comes from
