Define 'startup' and 'founder'. These are not necessarily useful things compared to 'inventor' or 'coder'. But the job is most definitely founding a sort of cult around whatever you say you are, and getting other people to imagine pretty things about what you haven't done and maybe never will do. That's a startup founder.

In a sense, this too is a real problem. People will burn a lot of money, time and resources as long as their fundamental motivation is to chase a pipe dream.
