At what point do you consider a company founded? At the moment the business is registered by the local government?

Well, when 3 guys start it and work on it for a long time, incorporate for a year, have an office and employees, and then a VC comes in, the VC definitely did not "found it", no matter when you define the actual date.

Regardless of how elastic you can get with the term "founded," the actual assertion of "founded from scratch" is much more specific.
