Our take
A major pitfall of CRM systems is the amount of admin required to maintain them. Follow up drafting, note logging and field updating mean that customers are always playing catch up to maintain the very system built to keep them on top of their customer relationships. Lightfield was designed to do this work itself, utilising AI-native automation to build a picture of your customer base.
Lightfield’s AI agents can contextualise customer interactions and use this to develop unique sales pipelines and meeting preparation, meaning that its users do less admin and close more deals. Tools on the Lightfield platform include a pipeline generation tool for time-strapped start-ups, a sales assistant for meeting memos and log updating and data capture for self-updating CRMs. All this speaks to a product that speaks to a culture of bogged-down, high-growth companies lacking the time to manage their growing client base.
Spun out from the co-founders' previous pitch-presentation company Tome, Lightfield released a migration tool in 2026, further incentivising businesses to take up its platform. With plenty of experience from its founding team, Lightfield is itself on the right track for high growth.
