Founder, such a strange word.  It means to fail (which is a  
negative thing)..

Break down, literally or metaphorically
"The wall foundered"

Fail utterly; collapse
"The project foundered"


Yet is also means to create (which is a positive thing)..

A person who founds or establishes some institution
