Lightfield

Lightfield is 2026's answer to the question everyone asks but nobody wants to answer: "Why do I have to manually enter everything into my CRM when my entire life is already in my email and calendar?" Jack Reed, Keith Peiris, Pete Nichols, Ves Stoyanov, Henri Liriani, and Matt Serna built Lightfield to fix the thing that makes every CRM feel like homework. Their AI-native CRM reads your emails, meetings, and calls and builds itself—no manual data entry, no clicking "save," no fighting with UI fields at the end of your day. It just works.

The CRM industry is a $150 billion market and every single one of them has the same fatal flaw: they make YOU do the work. Lightfield said nah, what if the CRM just... knew? What if it listened to your sales calls, parsed your email threads, pulled from your calendar, and built the relationships for you? That's the entire pitch. No more "oh I forgot to log that call." No more "let me update the deal stage." Lightfield just does it. Six founders with a 2026 launch means they're probably just getting started, but the idea is so obviously right that it makes you wonder why nobody built it sooner.
