put aside nice for a minute.
does this business have potential to make money?
who will actually be running the business day to day?
if you invest the money, and she invests her time, talent, creativity and expertise (and actually runs and manages it day to day), then it does seem like this is an equal partnership.
you are bringing in the money, she is bringing in everything else.
profits should be split 50/50 after the initial investment is paid back (your "loan" to the business).
you are risking your money and she is risking her time.

It's very common for the workload amongst partners to be divided based on the investment.
For example, you would have less responsibilities because you are putting in the capital and she would make up for that by putting in more labor.
You also can insist on any profit being used to pay you back before reinvesting in the business or taking salaries for yourselves.
If the business has potential and it's something you're interested in, I don't think I would let this hold me back.
But, you have to be ready to take the risk.

It sounds like you wouldn't be so interested in this if it were all up to you, but you want to help her.

It's lovely that you have so much kindness and chesed, but you really need to talk to someone IRL about the seichel involved. Putting your nest egg at risk only because you want to help a fellow yid and have difficulty saying no may be problematic, and end up hurting both of you if things go wrong.
