So it's really a site for a small number (130+) of "start-ups" (all sharing some common investors?) to poach talent from an extremely small A List of the biggest tech companies around.

The $30 million for 88 engineers is an average of $341,000 per engineer. It sounds like they are adding up all the offers for every engineer rather than the top offer for each engineer. Perhaps some got no offers. Perhaps some got 20 offers of $50,000. The $30 million total offers for 88 engineers tells us almost nothing.
