AI-Native Software Entrepreneur & CRM Innovation Expert; CEO & Co-Founder of Lightfield; Former Product Lead at Instagram & Facebook
Keith Peiris Biography
Keith Peiris is the co-founder and CEO of Lightfield, an AI-native CRM platform focused on transforming how businesses manage customer relationships using artificial intelligence. Prior to founding Lightfield, Peiris held product leadership roles at major technology companies. He served as the Messaging and Camera AR product lead at Instagram, where he expanded Instagram Direct to 500 million monthly active users. At Facebook, Peiris worked as manager of product management on initiatives such as Predictive Search, Graph Search, and Facebook for Android. He later served as head of product at Glossier and Citizen, where he contributed to significant user growth and helped Citizen reach the top position in the News category of the iOS App Store.
Peiris co-founded Tome with Henri Liriani, developing an AI-powered presentation tool that was incubated at Greylock. Tome achieved rapid adoption, reaching millions of users and earning recognition on the Forbes AI 50. The company raised substantial venture funding and achieved a high valuation before Peiris and Liriani decided to pivot, reducing the team size to pursue a new opportunity aligned with their interests.
Both Peiris and Liriani, former Meta product leaders, identified a gap in sales technology related to customer memory. They spent a year developing Lightfield, a CRM platform that automatically ingests and updates customer interactions across email, calendar, calls, Slack, and LinkedIn. The platform creates a comprehensive, self-updating business record, enabling both human employees and AI agents to access accurate data. Since its launch, Lightfield has attracted more than 5,000 companies and reports strong net dollar retention.
Lightfield secured a $47 million Series A funding round led by Andreessen Horowitz, with participation from Maverick Capital, Coatue, Greylock, Lightspeed, Audacious Ventures, and Alumni Ventures. The funding supports the expansion of Lightfield's sales and engineering teams. Peiris is recognized as a thought leader in AI-native software, CRM innovation, and go-to-market strategy, frequently speaking at industry events and demonstrating Lightfield's capabilities in real-world scenarios. His experience in entrepreneurship, artificial intelligence, and enterprise software positions him as a credible voice in the technology sector.
