Dbt Labs develops analytics engineering tools designed to help analysts create and disseminate organizational knowledge. The company offers a transformation workflow tool that lets teams quickly and collaboratively deploy analytics code following software engineering practices like modularity, portability, CI/CD, and documentation and allows them to easily create and disseminate organizational knowledge through data modeling, enabling data analysts with data query language knowledge to build data transformation workflows using data modeling.

The company was founded by Tristan Handy, Drew Banin, and Connor McArthur, data experts from the analytics consultancy Fishtown Analytics. As dbt gained traction through client projects, the founders spun it out into the dedicated company Dbt Labs. Under Handy's leadership as CEO, Dbt Labs has seen strong growth, tripling its paying customer base to over 3,000 and growing revenue 6x in 2021 alone.

Looking ahead, Dbt Labs aims to make Dbt the "semantic layer" that unifies core business metrics across an organization's data warehouse and BI tools. The company is doubling down on its strategic partnership with Snowflake, as dbt's usage drives significant data processing on Snowflake's cloud platform. Dbt Labs offers the opportunity to shape data transformation at a hyper-growth startup alongside top data talent.
