Lightfield announces a $47M Series A led by a16z, aiming to reimagine CRM as a world model of a business.
- Thesis: legacy CRMs like Salesforce were built 20+ years ago for humans updating records; layering agents on incomplete, unstructured data yields low-quality output
- Lightfield updates itself from every interaction, forming a trustworthy model of the business for people and agents — finding lookalike prospects, booking meetings, capturing commitments
- 5,000+ companies signed up since launching last November, replacing legacy CRM at mature orgs with hundreds of users
