Lightfield raises $47M Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz for AI-native CRM
Lightfield Raises $47M Series A
Lightfield, the AI-native CRM built around a "business world model," has raised a $47 million Series A. The round was led by Andreessen Horowitz, with participation from Lightspeed Venture Partners, Greylock Partners, Coatue Management, Maverick Capital, Alumni Ventures, and Audacious Ventures.
What Lightfield Does
Lightfield reimagines the CRM category as a business world model — a record that assembles itself from every call, email, meeting, and chat. The system structures that activity so AI agents and human teams work from the same understanding of the business, rather than from manually maintained fields and records.
The company launched in November 2025 from San Francisco. It reports more than 5,000 companies signed up, ranging from early-stage startups to organizations with hundreds of users.
Founding Team
Lightfield was founded by Keith Peiris and Henri Liriani. The pair previously built Tome, an AI presentation tool that reached 25 million users, before pivoting the team to Lightfield in 2025. That prior experience building and scaling an AI-native product informs the company's approach to rethinking an established software category.
Traction and Positioning
The reported sign-up figure of more than 5,000 companies gives Lightfield a broad base across company sizes, from early-stage startups to larger organizations with hundreds of users. The company's framing — a self-assembling record that serves both AI agents and human teams — positions it against traditional CRM systems that depend on manual data entry and maintenance.
Backing
Lightfield's investor list combines the lead, Andreessen Horowitz, with Lightspeed Venture Partners, Greylock Partners, Coatue Management, Maverick Capital, Alumni Ventures, and Audacious Ventures. The company's description also notes backing from a16z, Maverick Capital, Coatue, Greylock, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Audacious Ventures, and Alumni Ventures.
