Can you promote your product in r/venturecapital?

The provided rules do not address self-promotion directly, so there is no explicit rule saying you can or cannot promote your product. What they do say is, "this subreddit is not for startups, founders, business advice or requests for funding. Posts on these topics will be removed," so product promotion tied to a startup or founder pitch could fall into removed topics.

Whatever the written rules say, the pattern that gets promo removed everywhere is the same: batches of similar comments, reused wording, and necro-posting on old threads. A promotional mention only has value if it survives, so pace matters more than volume. We measured this the expensive way: 70% of bought pool comments were removed within two weeks.
