这里的及物动词后少了一个it

But Demis Hassabis, DeepMind’s boss, who founded in 2010 what was then an independent firm, did so hoping that they could also be employed to accelerate the progress of science.

老师您好，请问founded应该是少了一个it吧，是省略了吗，为什么可以省略呢？谢谢

网友理解失误。found 是及物动词，肯定有宾语，但不是 it，而是 what was then an independent firm。你随便加一个 it 是什么意思？它指什么？你不注意整体句子结构，不想一想后面的 what 从句是做什么的？
what was then an independent firm 是名词性从句，作 founded 的宾语。这个名词性从句，现代语法叫做“名词性关系分句”，因为what 身兼两职：既是先行词又是关系代词。等于说：something that。
