Meg Whitman Ventures into Venture Capital

Meg Whitman, who lost to Jerry Brown in California's recent gubernatorial election, is returning to her native pasture in Silicon Valley. This time, Whitman has joined various corporate entities, including one of the Golden State's best known venture firms, Kleiner Perkins (KP). According to the Mercury News, the former eBay chief will "coach entrepreneurs and help evaluate new digital investments" at KP.

Having access to Whitman as one's personal trainer for business enterprise sounds like a great deal. What sorts of issues would she "coach" these entrepreneurs about? Would she work by the hour? On a project basis? Would she meet in person, or in keeping with Silicon Valley preference, offer virtual conferences?

All I can say is good luck getting an appointment with her.
