Welcome to 8Spotlight, a founder-focused podcast brought to you by Eight Capital: a pre–Demo Day fund that has been backing Y Combinator startups for years. With a portfolio of 200+ startups (and counting), we’ve had the privilege of working closely with some of the most ambitious entrepreneurs in the world, often at the very start of their journeys. This podcast is our way of opening that window for you. In each episode, we go founder by founder, startup by startup, shining a spotlight (wink wink, nod nod) on the stories behind the companies in our portfolio. You’ll hear firsthand what it’s like to launch from YC, how great ideas take shape in real time, and the gritty, inspiring, and often surprising details that don’t always make it into TechCrunch headlines. At Eight Capital, we believe that investing in startups is about more than term sheets and cap tables. It’s about people. The ones bold enough to ask, “Why not us? Why not now?” 8Spotlight is our celebration of those people. We’re proud to share their stories with you. So plug in, press play, and discover the founders reshaping industries and rewriting the future one startup at a time.

Spotlighting Taiv: How Noah Palansky Found PMF And The Road To A Successful Series A Raise

In this episode of 8Spotlight, we sit down with Noah Palansky, co-founder of Taiv, the company turning everyday TVs in restaurants, gyms, and retail spaces into dynamic, revenue-generating media networks.

Since its early days in Y Combinator, Taiv has grown rapidly: now with more than 3,000 signed partners and a freshly closed Series A led by IDC Ventures. Noah takes us behind the scenes of that growth, sharing how Taiv built and scaled a product that works for business owners, advertisers, and consumers alike.

For anyone interested in startups, media, or the future of advertising, this conversation offers a candid look at what it means to build a category-defining company from the ground up.

8Spotlight is brought to you by Eight Capital, a pre–Demo Day YC fund with a portfolio of 200+ companies. Each episode shines a light on the founders and startups shaping the future.
