How do you value founder shares?

When a company is set up, the founders purchase Common Stock. The price of that Common Stock is typically very low (almost zero) because the company has just been set up and presumably has very little value for example, $0.0001/share. If the founder is issued 5,000,000 shares, the purchase price would be $500.

Are founder shares vested?

Founder shares vesting means that after a specified time period or event, a company founder may keep all or a certain percentage of his or her stock shares even after leaving the company.
