if you take the money, i think it's uber-important to specify what kind of role he will hold. once you take the money, he will expect some sort of say when it comes to the direction of the company. if he doesn't know your industry, you may receive a lot of "advice" that's not worth implementing. building on some of the other comments, figure out exactly what you would spend the money on. don't work backwards from 100k...work from zero --> up. no need to force yourself to reach 100k in spending if you don't need to.
