Hopefully most people are aware that only one in ten startups succeed. That and often times a "startup" is really "me and my buddy hacking on some stuff on the weekends". It's actually the latter that bugs me more... calling one's self a CEO when you never had any employees (other than your buddy, who worked for fun & free beer)... it feels like it cheapens the title. Sure, call yourself a founder, absolutely... but CEO is a bit different.
