Taiv Raises $13M Series A+ to Accelerate the Future of Business TV

We’re excited to share that Taiv has raised an additional $13M USD in Series A+ funding, further strengthening our ability to scale, innovate, and redefine business entertainment.

This was an oversubscribed round, led by IDC Ventures (2nd investment), with significant participation from Emerging Ventures (2nd investment), plus continued support from Y Combinator (3rd investment) and Garage Capital (4th investment). Their conviction reinforces what we’ve believed from day one: the way TV works inside physical businesses is overdue for change.

This Series A+ builds directly on our previously announced Series A and reflects the strong traction, execution, and momentum we’ve achieved since that raise.

Momentum Since Our Series A

Since closing our Series A, Taiv has grown rapidly.

• Scaled across North America by expanding our footprint to 5000+ locations and 14,000+ screens across 33 markets.
• Grown our team to 85+ full-time employees (up from 30 in Jan 2025).
• Continued to rapidly scale as one of the fastest growing companies in Canada.

We have found product-market-fit and our goal now is to scale.

The Series A+ allows us to double down on what’s already working while accelerating the next phase of our roadmap.

Why This Matters

Business TV has always been neglected. Commercial breaks kill energy, content is generic, and measurement is nonexistent. Businesses have little to no control over what’s playing inside their own four walls and, until now, it has been an overlooked segment of entertainment.

Whether it’s a packed sports bar, a convenience store, or a local restaurant, the screens in those spaces should enhance the experience, not detract from it.

We're doing for in-venue TVs what Google did for search - unlocking under-utilized inventory with better targeting, ad delivery, and measurement. As linear TV declines in effectiveness and brands shift spend toward measurable, context-aware channels, Taiv sits at the intersection of retail media, live sports, and AI-driven ad delivery, with proven traction on both the supply and demand sides.

The Road Ahead

With this new capital, we’re focused on two core priorities:

1. Hiring Exceptional Talent
   • We’re actively hiring across all departments to support our rapid expansion, with a focus on developers, salespeople, and account managers.
2. Accelerating Product Development
   • We’re investing heavily in our tech to improve compatibility and reliability - we're focused on substantially improving and expanding our existing systems to build a product that surprises and delights customers with a remarkable experience.

What’s Next?

We will continue scaling our team rapidly over the next year. We’ll be rolling out dozens of new features to provide even more value for our partners and advertisers.

We’re focused on the same goal as always - re-inventing business tech to be more fun, engaging, profitable, and easier to manage. This new capital will let us further accelerate that mission.

This raise wouldn’t be possible without our incredible team, forward-thinking customers, trusted partners, and investors who continue to believe in the long-term vision. We’re especially grateful to our returning backers who have doubled down on Taiv as we enter this next chapter.
