About

Taiv is the first smart TV box built for sports bars and restaurants. A small AI-enabled device installs behind existing business TVs and works alongside live TV. It delivers smarter content, automation, and control without changing how people watch or adding extra work for venues. Bars and restaurants use Taiv to manage and monetize their screens, promote their own offerings, and protect their in-venue experience. Advertisers run ads that are more targeted, measurable, and cost-effective than traditional place-based or TV advertising. With a rapidly growing network across the United States, Taiv is redefining what business TVs can do.

AI made execution free. Knowing first is the whole game now.

Fundz sees it the moment Taiv raises, hires an exec or expands, usually minutes after it happens, and tells you who to reach.
