Subreddit rules check

Can you promote here?
The rules clearly permit sharing your own product or project. Follow the format norms below, disclose that it is yours, and lead with substance: allowed is not the same as welcomed for low-effort pitches.
From the rules · Do not use the 🚀 emoji, the word “FREE”, or copy-pasted AI responses; posts are quality-gated.
Links
The rules clearly allow links. A plain-text mention still often outperforms a URL from a young account.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: showcase, discussion, question
Headline: short, clear and EU-focused (eg. “Built X — looking for users/cofounder/feedback”). Write in first person as the founder; explain what you built, target market, traction, location, and a single clear ask. Typical length 150–400 words. Tone: concrete, professional, specific. Posts with screenshots/links and clear asks get upvoted; low-effort, emoji-filled or copy-pasted AI posts get removed.
Arriving in the local format matters: cross-posting the same text everywhere reads as tourist instantly. The wider method is in the Reddit playbook.
Classified mechanically from the community's published rules and recent top posts, last checked August 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/startups_eu's rules page before posting anything that matters.
Thread Otter checks this before every send
These profiles power the product: promo-banned communities never receive a promotional draft, drafts arrive in the local format, and a fact-check gate plus human pacing protect the account doing the talking.
