Its a symbolic reward.

There are actually a bunch of triggers for getting the $100. Like getting outside investment, deciding that the business won't work and quiting, and a pile of others.

Its like getting a coffee cup at work with the company logo on it for being there a year. Its not the reason you do the job.

It still seems weird to give a small amount of cash as a reward for attracting a much larger amount of cash.
