    I can't figure out why someone with her money and friends with money would go to a VC firm.

    Ed, why is it so difficult to understand. If it is true she's only giving away 30 percent, she's not giving up control -- and at the same time, she's getting $5 million in cash, a great deal and something she could probably only do in this bubbly environment. Take the money!
