I guess I'll start off!

My answer is Founder. Why? I believe that "Entrepreneur" is a broad term that almost anyone can claim. "Founder", on the other hand, lets people know that you have founded a specific startup of some sort and appears to carry more credibility. Additionally, I've come to understand that there can be negative connotations behind the term "Entrepreneur" because the title does not specify a learned skill as opposed to titles like "Computer Scientist", "Mechanical Engineer", "Audio Editor", etc.

I like “Entrepreneur” because I feel like it carries more weight. I think that when people who know very little about entrepreneurship hear the term “founder”, they may not associate it with an idea maker and financial risk taker. However I feel like the word “entrepreneur” conveys that message and that’s what I’d like other people to see me as... as a person who comes up with ideas and then takes the risks necessary to bring these ideas to fruition. BUT it is frustrating how the term “entrepreneur” is becoming trendy and overused and so I think the term founder may be more individualistic and identifying for a person who is doing all of the hard work to develop a business!

I prefer the title "Founder" because of what the title implies to me: Innovator, Creator, The one who before all.
