Not seeing much controversy below, so that's good!
Same modifier placement issue as in (A) -- it sounds like Goldman went bankrupt, and that's not right. I also don't love that "withdrawing" is a modifier here -- it's not WRONG, but (B) seems clearer, since it emphasizes that Goldman was the entity that withdrew the funding. Eliminate (D).
Quote:
Very clear issue with pronoun agreement: "they", in theory, should refer to Goldman Sachs, but the company itself is singular. Plus, that initial modifier makes it sound like Goldman went bankrupt in 2008, and it's clear from the sentence that Crystal Technologies was the firm that went under. Eliminate (A).
Quote:
Looks fine to me! The pronoun and modifier placement issues in (A) have been removed, and the phrase beginning with "which" modifies "Goldman Sachs," so no worries there. Keep (B).

D. Goldman Sachs initially financed Crystal Technologies, an early provider of cloud computing services, withdrawing the funding

Quote:
Ha. More crappy "fake parallelism." "Withdrawn" is parallel to "financed", I suppose, but that doesn't make sense: "Crystal Technologies... was initially withdrawn..." Nope. (E) is out, and (B) is our winner.

A. Goldman Sachs initially financed Crystal Technologies, an early provider of cloud computing services, but they withdrew the funding - Opening modifier wrongly modifies Goldman Sachs. Crystal technology went bankrupt.
B. Crystal Technologies, an early provider of cloud computing services, was initially financed by Goldman Sachs, which withdrew the funding - CORRECT
C. Crystal Technologies, an early provider of cloud computing services, had been initially financed by Goldman Sachs and had its funding withdrawn -Timeline is given (before 2008), so past perfect can be avoided.
D. Goldman Sachs initially financed Crystal Technologies, an early provider of cloud computing services, withdrawing the funding - Opening modifier wrongly modifies Goldman Sachs. Crystal technology went bankrupt.
E. Crystal Technologies, an early provider of cloud computing services, was initially financed by Goldman Sachs and withdrawn -Highlighted part not making any sense.
