Founder
A founder is an individual or group that establishes and launches a new organization, company, or institution, often driving innovation and taking on substantial risks in the process. In a broader or nautical sense, as a verb, it refers to the act of sinking or collapsing, like a ship filling with water, and has evolved metaphorically to describe the failure of ventures or ideas in modern business lingo.
