What We Do

Taiv uses ML to make TV commercials as targeted and accessible as Facebook ads. We’re democratizing TV by letting anyone advertise for as little as $300.

Why It Matters?

We think that all ad channels should be accessible to everyone. Right now, only big companies can buy TV spots, plus they are poorly targeted and hard to track. We want to change that and transform a $150bn market in the process. We also share the revenue with the people who own the TVs, which we think is the way that advertising should work.

Cool, But How Does It Work?

We partner with bars and install custom hardware, which attaches to their cable box and uses computer vision to detect commercials in real-time (more about that below). When it cuts to commercial break, we dynamically insert ads that are perfect for that environment. We sell the ads at a premium and then give the bars 30%.

Check it out:

We’re a 22-employee in-person team who genuinely enjoy working together. We look for smart, passionate, and driven people who want to build something amazing. We have a fun culture and strive to create an easy-going work environment. We’ve raised ~$4M in funding, and are targeting a series A in Q2 2022.
