Actually, it makes sense (especially if it is "start a business as a bootstrapped thing").
You get a nice cash bonus (even if you only net $50k, it's nice), AND you come in higher in position than a random hire, and you have a shot at a better company than you might otherwise.
It would be crazy to try to raise VC to start a business to get a job somewhere as an acquihire, but bootstrapped is entirely different.
