Taiv

Taiv connects venues and advertisers by putting the right content on TVs in the moments people notice most with best-in-class targeting, execution, and measurement.

Brands and agencies get premium access to the moments people actually watch. Ads run inside live sports and other high-attention TV moments across bars, restaurants, and more. It’s bought like CTV or linear TV, but targeted down to the venue, market, sport, team and game.

Venues use Taiv to take control of their TVs. A small box behind each screen fills the commercial breaks with the venue’s own promotions, engaging content, and more relevant ads. Every screen is managed from one place, whether it’s one location or a hundred.

It’s all made possible by Taiv’s AI, which detects live TV commercial breaks in real time. The moment the game cuts to commercial, the screen switches over, and when the break is done, it switches straight back.

Taiv started in a Winnipeg sports bar in 2018, when our founders noticed the TVs were running ads for a competitor. We’re venture-backed and graduated from Y Combinator, the world’s top tech accelerator, in Winter 2020. Since then, we’ve become one of Canada’s fastest-growing companies, ranked by both Deloitte and The Globe and Mail.
