From the investigation

What the funder says it is building

Sections1and4 identify VILLUM FONDEN and descendants of Villum Kann Rasmussen as founders and a DKK10million initial cash capital, with no return of that initial capital to founders. No present grant is traced to a particular upstream transfer, and no wider family, company or state financing claim is made. The original first-board names in the statutes are historical, not today's board. Current bios were read only as context and are not used to retroactively assign the2023grant vote.
