I read about hardware wallets using the forum search but I still have a question about it, since the wallet is a physical piece of hardware if thrown away or get lost is the assets onboard going to remain safe if the founder know nothing about the key 🔑?
Yes it would be safe on the hardware but it would be very dangerous for you if someone found it and probably the founder is a crypto expert mostly on bitcoin. then your bitcoin is gone. A found a wallet on beach and the solution to deal the bitcoin found in the wallet was given by different bitcoiners.
I found a paper wallet on a beach ... seriouslyBut if the founder is illiterate about bitcoin and know nothing about the found wallet. As for me that is were the main problem lie in, he might decide to erase it and use to write another things or giving it to children to play but if the founder knows about bitcoin and he is a good person you might get back your wallet with the coin inside intact. Advice, do not move with your wallet, keep your wallet in the house and in safe hidden place that nobody can see in the house. Moving around with wallet is very much dangerous.
