About this event
Keith and Henri previously built Tome, an AI presentation tool that grew to 25M users in less than a year, then did the hardest thing founders can do: pivoted, shrank the company to seven people, and rebuilt the company as Lightfield.
Join us for a conversation with Keith Peiris, CEO and Co-founder of Lightfield, which recently raised a $47M Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz, with participation from Coatue, Greylock, and Lightspeed.
Lightfield is reimagining CRM as a business world model to help with predictable agentic work and accurate forecasting in the chaotic era of company building. They serve thousands of businesses from YC to scale ups
Event starts at 5:00pm. Keith will begin speaking at 5:30pm. Dinner will be served at 6:15pm.
Some of the questions we’ll explore:
- Why Henri as his co-founder? What made him certain? - How do you know the difference between a product that's working and a product worth spending ten years on? - What does it actually take to tell a team of 70 you're stopping? - Tome grew through virality; Lightfield sells consultatively, with engineers deployed at customers. How do you rebuild a company's instincts that completely? - If you were starting over today, would you still begin with a wedge product?
