Case Study: Fundrise achieves faster, more trusted analytics with dbt Cloud from dbt Labs

Fundrise increases data velocity and stakeholder trust with dbt Cloud

Fundrise, a rapidly growing alternative investment platform, needed a more reliable and scalable analytics setup as data volume, product complexity, and stakeholder expectations increased. Its legacy stack required too much maintenance and troubleshooting, leading to data errors and limited time for the small analytics team to focus on higher-value work. To address this, Fundrise turned to dbt Labs and dbt Cloud to modernize how it shaped and managed data in Snowflake and Tableau.

With dbt Labs’ dbt Cloud, Fundrise reorganized its warehouse, added testing, documentation, lineage, and alerting, and enabled more self-serve analytics across the business. The results were significant: more than a 50% reduction in the time needed to introduce new data sources, essentially zero time spent on pipeline maintenance, faster dashboard creation, and stronger stakeholder trust in the numbers.
