I don't see the problem. W4, whose mission statement is to build commercial products and services around Godot, got seed funding from venture capitalists in order to get off the ground and build those products and services. Unrelatedly, the Godot Foundation, whose purpose is to fund and develop the Godot project, needs more funding to keep up the current pace of Godot development.
There is nothing weird or shady about those two things being true at the same time.
It's all good and well that W4 has made a pledge to support Godot financially, but there's surely no expectation that they'll do that before they have a revenue stream? If W4's investors wanted the money to go to Godot, they would've just donated to Godot instead of investing in W4, right? We can't expect W4 to just take the money they got from their investors and spend it on donations to Godot instead of what was promised, right?
