Overview
Lightdash is a London data company founded in 2021 that builds an open source business intelligence layer on top of dbt. Its approach keeps metric definitions in version-controlled code rather than in a separate dashboard tool, which prevents numbers drifting apart. The company serves data teams that already model their warehouse in dbt.
