About Us
Taiv is a fast-growing post-seed tech startup located in Winnipeg, Canada. Our product detects and replaces regular TV commercials in restaurants, bars and gyms with ads for local businesses that are way more targeted. We’re the only company in the world with this technology.
We’re changing the way TV ads are sold by giving advertisers the ability to buy hyper-targeted TV ads that play regardless of what channel is playing. They can play 20x an hour on screens all around their selected venue(s) to promote themselves and increase their sales.
We share the ad revenue with our restaurant partners so that local businesses can help other local businesses. We make a big impact in the community and are proud of it!
We’re venture-capital backed and graduated from Y Combinator, the world’s top tech accelerator, in winter 2020. Program alumni include Airbnb, Instacart, DoorDash, etc. (www.ycombinator.com/topcompanies).

⚙️ Our Tech
We have really cool tech - we build our own hardware and use a heuristics-based computer vision approach for classification. We’re the first (and only) company in the world that can detect TV commercials accurately.
Our detection algorithm runs on our custom-designed TV box that we manufacture in-house. We have hundreds of boxes deployed and are installing more every day.
We also have several web apps built in React that are used by our customers, as well as for internal operations.
