Can you promote in r/roastmystartup?
Post your start-up (or start-up idea) for other entrepreneurs to roast it. We won't hold back punches.
The short answer
Be the founder posting your own startup, include the required fields and a clickable domain if live, disclose your affiliation when replying and avoid blatant solicitation or off-topic promotion.
What works here
- Posting your own startup for roasting (must be affiliated)
- Including a clickable link if the business is live (not ProductHunt or Vercel)
- Providing details about product, market, stage, fundraising, conversion strategy
What gets posts removed
- Posting other people's startups or pretending affiliation
- Using ProductHunt or Vercel links (they will be removed)
- Posting low-effort content, AI-generated posts (at mods' discretion), or turning the thread into direct sales pitches
