LaunchWakeCan I post my startup on Rands Leadership Slack?
Direct promotion is routinely removed and can hurt your account standing. Only post something that stands on its own; a pitch will get pulled fast.
Why the ban risk is high
- Explicit limits on self-promotion and marketing language.
- Invite-only and high-signal — marketing is unwelcome by design.
The rules, in plain English
How to post here safely
- Use the community's self-promo / show-and-tell channel if one exists.
- Contribute genuinely first; let a helpful profile earn the audience.
- Don't broadcast a pitch to general channels or DM members cold.
- Don't post if the community has no promo channel — it reads as spam.
