Well yeah, it's because canadian "founders" have a ripe reputation of working in the U.S. while on visitor visas...

If you are a Canadian citizen you don’t need a visa — due to the visa waiver program — for business purposes as long as your stay is less than 90 days.

You cannot be employed in the US under these conditions, but as a founder you are most likely doing things which are permitted:

* negotiating contracts * business meetings * board meetings * conferences * purchasing property in the US
