Hello, due to the presence of free time, I would like to know if there is a way to join any start-up startup.
But not as an employee (for pay is usually below the market average), but as a full-fledged co-founder, maybe there are some resources?
Moreover, he is ready to perform any work from programming, promotion to cleaning the premises.
Has anyone else had such a successful experience?
What are the pitfalls? How to get a stake in a startup?

dudes with "ideas" are now full.
the problem is not even that they will deceive, they will not give a share. you need to make sure how much they understand this idea, how much they appreciated and calculated it, double-check everything. and how willing they are to go all the way. and so chatso sometimes started on a positive note - everything is ok, it seems promising, and then it turns out that they did not take into account a lot of little things that in total make the project unprofitable.
well, it’s right to divide the shares initially in accordance with who does what (in the future, with changes in the team or roles, you can recalculate).
adequately evaluate your efforts, how much time it will take to complete the project and whether you will still have time to clean the room, or even programming will have to take a few more people.
in general, measure 7 times - and sign one.

"But as a full-fledged co-founder," that is, are you ready to contribute the required amount in the amount of a share of the funds required for development?

Suppose a certain person has a project, how will you help him in the implementation? If you are a good specialist, and there is a project in which your competence is key and it cannot be done without your experience, you will be invited and there you will be able to agree on %. For this to happen, you need to have experience, be a well-recommended specialist.
Otherwise, I will refer to the article -

How to get a stake in a startup?

Registration of you as one of the founders of a legal entity. If the organization is just being created, then contribute in money / property a share in the authorized capital of the organization. The minimum authorized capital of an LLC permitted by law must be at least 10 thousand rubles, i.e. You are free to contribute your share. It makes no sense to inflate the authorized capital if the organization does not plan to attract creditors. If the organization is already registered, then you need to notarize the sale of the share and notify the registering authority of the change in the composition of the founders.
Verbal agreements can also take place if you have access to your future profit tool. Since you are equally able to make an attempt to use this tool yourself. For legal face is also fully relevant. But in this case, you will be able to assess the seriousness of the intentions of your future colleagues. To have a little more confidence that all this enthusiasm and impulse will not go out after a short period of time.

What are the pitfalls?

1. if a startup does not have money to pay for labor, it may not be formalized or not fully formalized, and no one will take your share
2. share from 0 = 0, most startups do not make a profit
3. you have to work hard in a startup, more than hired

Isn't it easier to search for a startup to your liking on the relevant resources? for example here - crowdsourcing.ru

Maybe as a co-founder.
There are spark, vc sites for this (Zuckeberg will call), etc.
But if you DO NOT have a STABLE INCOME, which also leaves you a lot of free time, then it’s not worth it.
A startup is a hell of a job.

Under the word "startup" they rake up a lot of things.
Your chance to take part in someone's open-source or hobby project. Look for small projects in social networks, telegram channels that are of interest to you.
For example, I came across a dude who makes a tank, prints parts on a printer, buys equipment, maintains a blog (just in a cart). Like-minded people are always needed in such projects.
