Because he was happy to join the company reporting to her co-founder, who seems to be about the same age as she is (early 30s). And as I've pointed out above, he had already accepted the position, started attending company meetings, and then pulled out a few days before he was due to take up his full-time duties.
He could have obtained that by simply saying 'you're great, I love working with you, but I'm being offered more elsewhere.' He'd still have been reporting to a co-founder, not a junior employee. I find it weird that people insist on discounting this factor.

With a bump in pay and position.
