  • Respond promptly to comments to keep discussions productive.

Avoid This

  • Ignoring subreddit-specific rules or thread requirements.
  • Treating discussion communities as pure ad channels.

Community Rules

  1. Be ready to answer follow up questions.

    Ask us a question in this sub and you'll get great advice. But don't ask and then disappear. Be ready for follow up questions as we try to help!

  2. Stay on topic.

    Entrepreneurship of all kinds with a skew towards service based entrepreneurship.

  3. No blatant self plugging.

    Add value and start a discussion, blatant self plugging is not tolerated. Don't care if it's "free". If you have a course or ebook for sale, you're in the wrong place.

  4. The business must be sweaty

    Pressure washing and pool cleaning: Sweaty iPhone games, clothing brands and crypto: Not sweaty

  5. Bragging/clickbait

    No bragging posts. Sure it's great that you hit $XYZ in revenue in ZYX months. Don't lead off with clickbait.

  6. No software or websites posts or comments

    Any talk of software or websites is no longer allowed on /r/sweatystartup. There are better places on Reddit or the internet for such discussions.

  7. No politics

    No politics
