Modal also seems like a recently started shell for this and the funding they got so far originates from US non-profits through Free Our Feeds which you might remember from trying and failing to raise 30 million USD for a similar purpose without the whole European thing. I don't think any of the key people involved is actually Dutch.

It's worth noting when the foundation has registered itself an address in Haag for some reason.

People might think this is funded by the EU because of the way they've launched it, but it's not.
