A TL;DR from one of the founders on godot's subreddit:
New company independent from Godot, funded by venture capital (so has enough money to build products until it can actually make money).
This company will build products and propose services which are yet to be announced - there's a hint that one product will be console ports.
This company will provide funding to the Godot project so more contributors can be hired, and will also donate its own employees' work time for significant contributions to Godot (we'll soon announce some).
But as importantly, it will provide the level of commercial support that bigger studios need to be able to switch to Godot.
