Are you asking whether the word "founder" is legally protected in some way, requiring you to meet certain criteria before being allowed to use it? It is not. You may freely use it to describe yourself (even if you've yet to found anything) without risk of committing an offence.

You aren't a founder unless you've founded something, so why would you put it on Facebook for people to go looking for your site and finding nothing because it doesn't exist? That is the kind of adverse publicity you don't want.
