From the article "DBT is taken between 2 fires: its productive asset (dev community) and its capital assets (VC investors).

Satisfying both of them is probably not possible as they have opposite interests.

On one hand, the strong and engaged developer community is a valuable asset that contributes to the tool's popularity and functionality.

On the other hand, venture capital investors often seek ways to maximize their return on investment, which can lead to changes in pricing models or strategies that may not align with the community's expectations."
