r/startup is a Reddit community — participate genuinely; promotional posts get removed without established karma. (nofollow listing, free to submit)
Optional — verify fit best for Community & founder reach
Subreddit members interested in the topic
Follow subreddit rules — build karma and contribute before linking your product
Open reddit.com in a new tab.
Look for “Submit”, “Add Product”, “List your startup”, or similar in the nav or footer.
Product name, tagline, description, URL, logo, and screenshots — match what they ask for.
Choose Community (or the closest fit) so you reach the right audience.
Free listings are often reviewed manually — expect a few days to several weeks.
Topical relevance matters: Community directories tend to help most when your product fits that category. Nofollow links still drive referral traffic and brand visibility.
