AI CRM startup Lightfield, formerly known as Tome, secured $47M in Series A funding led by Andreessen Horowitz. The company has now raised $127M total across funding rounds.

Lightfield has grown to 5,000 business customers following a significant pivot under CEO Keith Peiris. The startup achieved 400% net dollar retention, a key metric indicating strong product-market fit and customer satisfaction. The company previously raised $80M across earlier Series A and B rounds before rebranding and refocusing its AI-powered CRM offering. The latest funding round from a16z validates the startup's new direction and growth trajectory. Lightfield competes in the increasingly crowded AI CRM space, where companies are racing to integrate artificial intelligence into customer relationship management tools. The funding will likely support product development, sales expansion, and market positioning as competition intensifies in the sector.
