Joining a startup, what are the options?

[miguelst]

I've been a developer for whole my life, I recently started my own agency, where I'm now starting to outsource work, and focus on sales and growing the business (the dream!).

Now an old friend of mine contacted me to ask if I could manage a development team for a new web platform they're building, the project seems interesting and instead of billing them for my time, I'm wondering if I could join them, become part of the project.

In what ways can someone join a project, and share in the revenue? Does anyone have experience with this situation?
