"Founder" is not a title you can add casually under US law.
It's determined at the time of incorporation and stock issuance. QSBS, and other legal structures, do not allow transferability of "Founder" to follow-on Investors and employees.

It varies in incorporation requirements by state, but most only require 2 titles positions - a President and a Treasurer (the “Officers”)
Adding or removing a Director, as in “Board of Directors”, requires amendment to the Corporation’s bylaws, which should state how many seats there are.
Aside from those titles/roles, all the “C” prefixed titles are made up. Usually, one C level person is the President, another the treasurer. Co-founders are usually on the board of directors. Many times, a single person can be on the board, a co-founder, and ceo.
