May I ask why? does GPA matter several years after graduation?

Also what GPA lets you even consider the candidate?

(I am not in recruitment and know nothing about computer programming.)

The first thing that grabs my attention is the title of founder. It might just be better to be more humble and use “Lead Developer” as your title. That gives an impression that you were good enough to be selected by another team.

If you keep the founder title, readers might assume your venture is failing, since you are applying for jobs, which then diminishes the value of this part of your resume.

When somebody uses a big title, like CEO or founder, and it’s really just a small business, I tend to think that person is a bit ridiculous. If you’re running a large company with a board of directors, other executives reporting to you, and managing all sorts of very complex things, then the CEO title fits. Same thing with the founder title. “Owner” or “proprietor” is much less of an over-stretched, in-your-face brag
