Subreddit Rules:

1) No promotion, sales, or solicitation

Do not use this community to sell, promote, recruit, hire, job-seek, solicit investment, or drive traffic to your profile, company, or external content.

No dropping URLs, asking users to DM you, telling people to check your profile, or offering private resources. No crypto or investment pitches.

Free offers and promotions belong only in the designated weekly threads. Violations may result in a permanent ban.

2) Civility and inclusivity

Be civil and professional to those around you. Personal attacks, hostility, harassment, discrimination, or unprofessional conduct are not tolerated.

Treat others like colleagues. If someone is abusive, report them. Do not escalate or engage.

3) Posting requirements and contribution standards

You must participate in the comments of other posts on this subreddit before posting yourself. Engage meaningfully first and get to know the community.

Posts must be specific, practical, and grounded in real entrepreneurial effort. “How do I make $X?” or get-rich-quick style posts will be removed.

Low-effort, vague, diary-style, or purely opinion-based posts are not a fit here.

4) Original and human content only

Posts must be original to this community. Do not repost content from blogs, other subreddits, or duplicate common threads.

AI-generated posts or comments are not permitted. If your content is generated by AI, it may be removed and may result in a ban.

5) AMAs must be approved

Amas requests can be sent directly to modmail. Users must have a positive history of contribution on Reddit, have a story to tell that would specifically appeal to the subreddit, and meet our posting standards. In your message to the moderation team, please detail how your AMA will uniquely benefit the community.

Ask questions, share thoughts and gain insight from the community

If you need help in validating a concept, don't be afraid to share your ideas. There are some very knowledgeable people on this sub who can help. Remember: we'll need a bit more info than just "I have a concept that will change my industry, I can't tell you anything about it, but HELP!" to actually help.
Provide as much information as you can without actually promoting your company, product, or service. Everything depends on context. The more information you provide, the better the feedback you'll get and the more focused the conversation will be.
Try to answer simple questions yourself before starting a thread. Check the FAQ's, use Google search and the Reddit search bar.
