Where can you find a designer who will work for the experience?

Question

User interface

Hello!
My friend and I decided to make, as it is now fashionable to say, our own startup.
We write the code ourselves, plus someone for marketing, someone for financial models.
We are burning with the project, but there is not enough sensible designer.
Okay, any designer.
It's just that there are certainly those who want to work on a portfolio, for experience, just like us.
And for sure, someone faced a similar problem.
What resources do you recommend looking for?

Answer 1

Ahah, what is this, Minecraft, to work for Experience?
No one will agree to this, if people want to show themselves - they do something of their own for the portfolio, they embody their ideas. And for the implementation of your need to pay money.
If you find such a designer, then only one that will make you 2 stripes and 3 red buttons.

Answer 2

By the way, I'm also interested in the author in his startup, too, just "for experience" works? Wasting his time, and marketers with programmers, too, "for the experience"? As an alternative, I can advise you to find a designer for a share in the project (% of investments, % of profits +% of the start-up company).
If at the current stage you do not have funding and you are all working for the future, find a designer who will agree to develop and invest in your project under an agreement in which you give % of the profit or % of your company.
If you are not ready to give part of the company to the designer you need, save up some money and hire a designer for a one-time order.
And if you are just a greedy person who decided to "cunningly deceive the system" and find just a free slave who will delve into your project for free, play with your edits and improvements for free, and when your project starts making money, he will simply say "Thank you friends, for invaluable experience. Well, I went"... I don't even know, well, good luck, man!

Answer 3

And since when do startups work for experience and portfolio? A startup quite implies attracting venture investments at a certain stage. If you cannot reach this stage without a designer, then:
1) You are doing something wrong
2) Take a loan and look for a designer for money

Answer 4

will work for experience

sounds like a long-term undertaking... so the chances are low.
It is not entirely clear whether design is an important part of the project. If the idea of ​​the project cannot be conveyed to the user without a design or on templates, then this is an important part, it is necessary to lay a budget.

Answer 5

smart designer.
Okay, any designer.

Most likely, you will find a person who wants to get into design and started learning fsh the day before yesterday.
The best thing for you is to find money or become a designer yourself.

Answer 6

There was an experience of working with an inexperienced designer, so to speak for his experience. Everything turned out to be very bad.
Need a designer for a startup, go here teamfinding.com can be found.
If you do not want to give him money or shares, then you will have to pay someone (the best option with a quality result).
Saw a startup, buy a design. The option "oh no money" will not work. If you are not able to find money for a designer and are not ready to sell some of your things in order to invest in your business (startup), no one will invest 100% in you.
Every business starts with an idea and an investment.
A startup is a business (its own business). When opening a grocery store, you are unlikely to find a seller who will sell for experience. Rather, it will be a schoolboy whom dad will attach to work without hanging out on the streets.

Answer 7

Hell for designers. All designers work there for free.

Answer 8

The question remains open :) For all time.
