r/Businessideas is a subreddit with 45k members. The most common kinds of discussions are ideas and advice requests, and the community frequently discusses looking for, business, business idea, entrepreneurship, and struggling.
Honest feedback on business ideas. Post your idea with real detail, get told what's wrong with it (and what might work). No self-promotion, no polls, no AI-generated posts, no "what business should I start?" with zero context. Use a flair. Follow the template. Search before posting.
