Sure, there is a lot of uncertainty with Iota but CfB is one of the all time crypto dev legends , so IMO the risk with the tech is well worth taking.

As for Iota AS it sounds like some of the founders have created a company for their own personal projects within the Iota ecosystem, like RedHat , which makes sense. As long as the Iota foundation governs the protocol itself it's better for the foundation guys to have their own money making businesses as separate legal entities, they can't exactly pay themselves millions from the non profit foundation even if they deserve it for all the value they've  created, just a regular salary, so having their ownprofit generating  businesses that add value to the whole ecosystem is fine with me, but sure, let's wait and see what happens, I love a good conspiracy thèory, but this looks like good ole common sense, just some legal separation to prevent conflicts of interest getting misinterpreted by paranoid crypto guys.
