Let’s get started! 🚀

Lightfield — AI-native CRM

“It’s like an AI native CRM, and it’s actually AI… it writes emails, tells you when to follow up with people. There’s to-do tasks for everything.”

“It’s literally a chat, and it’s like, ‘Hey, pull this up.’ And it tells me: ‘These are the key people and their roles. Here’s when everything got scheduled. This is when you followed up.’”

“It literally tells you: ‘Hey, you should follow up here.’ And it uses all the context from your email. I think that’s definitely next gen.”

+ Performance Feedback

“They have a meeting transcriber that gives you feedback on how you can genuinely do better on calls.”

“Live as it’s happening, it’ll be like: ‘Hey, this is the point you’re missing that’s closed people before.’”

“We’re using agents to write code, your normal Claude Code and your Codex.”

“We’re using Reptile. We’re using ZeroPath. ZeroPath’s amazing for security.”

Zeropath

“It’s like SAST, static analysis of your code and figuring out where you might have bugs.”

Greptile

“It’s just like: ‘This is a logic bug. You should fix this.’”

“We use that, and we run those in parallel. So that’s kind of how our branching works.”

Whiteboard — no, not an app or tool, just a physical whiteboard

“I am a very firm believer of brain points and, you know, setting yourself up for the next day, the day before… I have a whiteboard that I line up in front of my desk, and I write down everything I need to do the next day.”

“As a CEO, you have so many things to do. What do you have to do on development? What do you have to do on outreach? What do you have to do with your team? Like, what does your team need? Where do you unblock your entire company? Like, 'cause for me, leadership is making sure everybody is able to sit down and do their jobs without blocks. So, you know, what I wanna do is just, I wanna sit down with you. I wanna figure out what's blocking you, and I wanna figure out how to unblock that and how I can help do that. Because I think that at the end of the day, that's my job.”

“It serves as a to-do list to me at the end of the day… I set absolutely unachievable goals every day, and if I even get to, like, half of that, I've done great.”
