How to Be Patient with Tristan Handy of Fishtown Analytics

Tristan Handy did not set out to build a venture-scale startup,
backed by the likes of Andreessen Horowitz and Sequoia. But that's
precisely the journey he's on after founding Fishtown Analytics
back in 2016. The company started as a consulting firm, but Tristan
soon realized that their core technology—dbt—was a powerful tool in
the budding field of modern analytics engineering. Today, dbt is
used by over 3,000 companies to organize, catalog, and distill
knowledge from their data warehouses. Tristan shares how he built
dbt's community and grew through an organic flywheel, why the next
generation of knowledge workers will increasingly work in code, and
why working within time constraints makes him a more mature
founder.
