It is not shirk, even scholars need to eat and make money.

My friend needs money to purchase goods that he will sell to another company.He is requesting me and others to give him money as an investor. From his profit,he will take specific percentage (as the project was his hardwork) & remaining percentage he will give to investors based on amount invested. If he doesn’t get profit, we will not get any profit. Is this transaction Halal?
