Company Summary

Taiv (Y Combinator W20) replaces commercials in live TV so that restaurants and bars can show more targetted advertisements instead (beer, alcohol, etc.).

Our product consists of the Taiv box which sits between the cable box and TV and the Taiv web app which makes it easy for advertisers to upload and schedule their content.
