The Power of Community and Analytics Engineering with Tristan Handy, Founder & CEO of dbt Labs
Hashmap on Tap, Ep. 86
“Before starting a company or even having a goal to create a company, decide that you want to start a community first.”
— Tristan Handy, Founder & CEO at dbt Labs
At Hashmap, we love dbt. We frequently find ourselves bringing it up in conversations, so it was exciting for us to have another dbt Labs founder on the show to share more insights on this incredible product that has organically developed over the past 5 years. Tristan Handy, Founder and CEO of dbt Labs, joined Kelly Kohlleffel on a recent episode of Hashmap on Tap to discuss how data teams are beginning to fully democratize data by leveraging dbt for data modeling and data transformation to produce trusted datasets for reporting, ML, and operational workflows. Tristan shares how they built the dbt Community of over 17,000 data practitioners committed to changing how data teams work together.
