They were the first pirates to sail these waters, forming the first guilds and trying quests before any other pirate set foot on Port Royal. Founders were beta-testers or players that made their account and purchased Unlimited Access before December 2nd, 2007, which is thirty two (32) days after Pirates of the Caribbean Online went live. A Founder account can be recognized by their gold-colored name and "F" coin above their avatar's head.
