I'm wondering too. We run dbt on-prem. Worst that could happen is we don't get any more free updates. But we have the software and it will continue to run.
the concern is that dbt-core will become stagnant.
I expect they’ll keep developing Fusion but possibly as even more of a commercial-only offering than it already was.

I know people don't like it these days, but you can just continue to run old software.
This smells like self-dealing on the part of A16z.

last update we had was Fivetran had 200m in 2023 and 300m in 2024 (https://www.fivetran.com/press/fivetran-surpasses-300m-arr-d...)
if Fivetran continued at same pace in 2025, that means it's at 400m ish and dbt was at 200m. not bad for dbt.
Last month Fivetran also acquired Tobiko, maker of SQLMesh, a dbt alternative. Looks like they are going all in. https://www.fivetran.com/press/fivetran-acquires-tobiko-data...

those are heavy accusations to toss around and that the title would like you to conclude, but doesnt pass the basic smell check of fivetran's founders still having control of the company. dbt was the hottest company in the data world 3 years ago and is valuable.
