Watch our exclusive interview with Keith Peiris, Co-Founder and CEO of Lightfield.This is a story of what #entrepreneurship is all about—from the team that built Tome to 25M users in just two years, and is now tackling the #CRM space with Lightfield.We began by discussing how Keith communicated this pivot to #investors, and more broadly, when is the right time to #pivot and focus on the real problem. In Lightfield’s case, it’s about giving #AI the right context to take #CRM to the next level.We then explored how Lightfield is adjusting its #GTM strategy to take on CRM’s big #incumbents — showing how a 20-person team can ship #features #faster than companies with 20,000, and even going door-to-door to demonstrate what a modern #SMB-focused CRM looks like.Finally, we discussed how Lightfield balances automation with #augmentation in the #AI era, how they leverage #proprietary customer data while ensuring privacy, and how they prioritize which AI models to use.And where does Keith get his best #ideas? 💡🚴♂️🛣️Check our new website:https://www.boardroomclub.netCheck out our new YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/@BoardroomClubInterviewers: Yossi Garmazi & Álvaro Jiménez Cabello de los Cobos.#tech #ai #innovation #CRM #EntrepreneurshipChapters:00:00 Intro01:02 Time at Facebook, Instagram 03:45 Tome explosive growth06:29 Pivoting from Tome to Lightfield 16:53 Communicating the pivot with Investors20:53 Lightfield: Transforming CRM space 24:40 CRM: Balancing Automation & Augmentation 28:24 Propriety data Vs Privacy30:15 Representatives in the AI era32:27 AI Agent: accelerating time to Demo34:06 Which AI model to use?35:43 AI Agent: Hype Vs Reality37:58 Advice for entrepreneurs39:07 Mentors40:33 Hobbies41:37 Favorite book42:59 What keeps you motivated?44:36 Other profession
