I don't think QSBS has anything to do with founder titles specifically, but I'd love to be corrected. Anyone who with stock that is QSBS eligible gets the exemption, whether they are a founder, investor, employee, etc, and it's more about the eligibility (ie you paid for the stock, you didn't acquire it on a secondary transaction, the business was <50M, etc). Whether your title is founder or not doesn't really matter.
