The AI-native CRM that builds itself from your email, calendar, and meetings — replacing Salesforce and HubSpot for the AI era.
Lightfield is an AI-native CRM built for the modern era, designed to replace legacy tools like Salesforce and HubSpot by assembling itself automatically from a team's email, calendar, and meetings. Founded with the mission to become the definitive system of record for the AI era — just as Salesforce defined the cloud era — Lightfield is rethinking CRM from first principles: instead of forcing teams into rigid systems, it learns from how companies actually work, adapting, automating, and surfacing insights that drive growth. The company is backed by top-tier investors including Greylock, Lightspeed, and Coatue, and its founders previously built Tome, a generative AI presentation product used by over 25 million people. The team brings deep pedigree from Llama, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, Pinterest, Google, and Salesforce. Traction has been exceptional: over 3,000 companies have signed up for the product, with more than 100 new sign-ups every week and roughly 30 converting to paying customers weekly. Customers include notable names like Substack and Distill. Lightfield operates a dual go-to-market motion — a high-velocity self-serve PLG funnel paired with a direct sales motion targeting Series A/B startups — and is scaling rapidly with plans to grow its sales team from 1 to 7 AEs by end of year. The culture is high-intensity, mission-driven, and in-office four days a week, attracting missionaries over mercenaries who are genuinely excited about building a category-defining company.
