dbt Labs provides dbt, an analytics engineering platform that enables data teams to build reliable, governed data pipelines for analytics and AI. The company grew from an open source project launched in 2016 into a global platform used by over 90,000 teams weekly, processing billions of data transformations. The commercial dbt Platform serves more than 5,400 customers across pharmaceuticals, financial services, automotive, media, and other sectors, and the company surpassed $100 million in annual recurring revenue as of February 2025.
The platform addresses the core challenge of data transformation and governance at scale. dbt's open source foundation established the standard for analytics engineering, while the commercial platform extends this with enterprise-grade capabilities. The recently introduced Fusion engine accelerates data workflows, with claims of 30x performance improvements over previous versions.
dbt Labs is backed by Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia Capital, and Altimeter. The company positions its platform as a data control plane for enterprise teams, designed to help organisations accelerate analytics initiatives with speed and governance built in.
