Today @Lightfield announced their $47M Series A, led by a16z.
Over 5,000 companies have started running on Lightfield since we launched in November, and a lot of what's in the product today exists because of conversations with people like you. We'll be using the investment to expand our engineering team so we can ship even faster for our customers.

This sounds like a huge time‑saver! You mention connecting an inbox and uploading a CSV from an old CRM. Can you clarify the process? Does Lightfield support all major email providers (Gmail, Outlook, Exchange) out of the box? And when migrating from a legacy CRM, does it preserve historical timelines, deal stages, and custom fields, or is it a basic contact + company import?
Looks awesome! Is a LinkedIn integration in the roadmap? Some of the CRMs i've used for personal networking (Dex, Clay Earth, Folk) automatically update and fill in a contact's profile via their LinkedIn - find it gives a ton of useful context via work history, bio description, alumni status etc.

Congrats on your launch@keith_peiris It's a great idea ✨👏 I can see how this would be useful, we use hubspot which automatically gets populated with every lead but follow ups remain pretty manual which can lead to incomplete or outdated info. Would love to give this one a try! What safeguards do you have for personal data protection?
The zero data entry piece is what gets me — most CRM failures I've seen come down to people stopping updates after week one, not from bad intentions but because it's just one more thing to log. Curious how Lightfield handles deal context that lives in attachments — PDFs, decks, or documents shared over email rather than the email body itself. Does that kind of content get pulled in and indexed too?
The proactive layer is what stands out to me here — especially if it can turn meetings + relationship context into genuinely useful prep instead of just another CRM summary. Curious how you think about keeping those suggestions specific without making reps feel like they’re being nudged by generic AI playbooks.
@keith_peiris great job with the launch! The "builds itself" positioning is bold since most CRMs live or die on how painful the initial setup and field-mapping is. Curious how Lightfield decides what fields/pipelines to create for a brand-new user with zero historical data: is it inferring from a sales call transcript, an email history, or a short onboarding interview?
