Anytime I would see a resume with CEO / Founder on it I would immediately pass.
My thinking was this person won't be a good fit working for someone else if they felt the need to strike out on their own. Just like I wouldn't hire myself.
This was when hiring for a sales role mind you. Obviously different for different positions / experience.
CTO wouldn't scare me if we were hiring for a lower position.
