Submission/commenting Rules:
1) 10 comment karma in /r/Entrepreneur to post
To lead a discussion in /r/Entrepreneur, we require a minimum of 10 comment karma within our subreddit. This is earned by contributing thoughtful comments to others’ discussions. This policy not only helps reduce spam but ensures that you understand the community’s dynamics—what types of posts resonate, and what might be overlooked or poorly received.
Our goal is to help your posts gain traction. Take some time to engage with the community and discover how we can best support you.
2) No Promotion
Posts and comments must NOT be made for the primary purpose of selling or promoting yourself, your company or any service.
Dropping URLs, asking users to DM you, check your profile, or comment for private resources will all lead to a permanent ban.
It is acceptable to cite your sources, however, there should not be an explicit solicitation, advertisement, or clear promotion for the intent of awareness.
3) No Personal Attacks
Constructive criticism of ideas, concepts, approaches, or plans is encouraged. Embracing reality, even when it is challenging, is a crucial aspect of business. However, personal attacks, hostility, or incitement to conflict are strictly prohibited and will not be tolerated in this community.
If you encounter threats or harassment, please report them immediately. Avoid engaging with users who are harassing you or others.
4) Links Allowed as Supporting Material ONLY
This rule exists to foster meaningful discussion. If you wish to share links, they must be directly relevant, clearly described, and essential to the conversation. Your post should include sufficient context within Reddit to enable a productive dialogue.
5) No “How To Get Rich Quick” posts
This community is NOT for quick money schemes. Entrepreneurship is often a challenging and demanding journey, requiring effort, hard work, grit, and determination. Posts asking how to make $X, without a specific or reasonable idea, will not be tolerated, as they do not contribute meaningfully to the discussions in this subreddit.
6) Avoid unprofessional communication
As a professional subreddit, we expect all members to uphold a standard of reasonable decorum. Treat fellow entrepreneurs with the same respect you would show a colleague. While we don’t have an HR department, that’s no excuse for aggressive, foul, or unprofessional behavior. NSFW topics are permitted, but they must be clearly labeled. When in doubt, label it.
AI-generated content is not acceptable to be posted. If your posts or comments were generated with AI, you may face a permanent ban.
7) No free offerings threads
Our “Thank You Thursday” threads are designated for any promotions, offers, or discounts you wish to share with the community. Please refrain from posting free offerings outside of this weekly thread that is pinned to the top of the community. Any such posts made elsewhere will be removed.
8) Follow the Rules of Reddit
They apply everywhere on Reddit. Also consider Reddiquette The latter isn’t mandatory but might be used in considering the intent of your post.
9) Unsolicited Opinions and Duplicate Thoughts
Posts in Entrepreneur should be unique. If a duplicate post can be found on one or more similar subreddits or on a blog, then it’s not a good fit for this subreddit.
Please refrain from using this community as your personal blog. There is no need to share opinions or use this space as a diary for daydreams, thoughts, or subjective reflections.
10) No Investment Solicitation
Posts about specific investments, such as cryptocurrency, are not permitted. Please refrain from soliciting, promoting, or offering any form of investment advice. There are other subreddits better suited for those discussions.
