Traditional Marketing is Changing ( Business Ideas 2020 ) | My First Million Podcast

About this video

Sam and Shaan analyze Ty Eve (atmosphere TV), a company that replaces commercial breaks on bar and restaurant TVs with menu upsells and ads. They discuss the business model’s potential as a modest revenue generator, compare it to similar ventures like Chive TV and Firefly, and identify concerns around pricing friction and unrealistic ad fill rate assumptions.

Key takeaways

• Sam likes the core concept of locally targeted menu upsells during commercial breaks, noting many bars and restaurants haven’t adopted such solutions yet, but selling into this fragmented market will be slow and painful
• Shaan notes the company is backed by Leo Resende (founder of The Chive), whose previous venture Chive TV made millions and spawned Atmosphere TV, which raised $10M; however, Shaan believes this could be a $50M revenue business but warns raising significant capital may destroy value if it ruins the cap table
• Sam identifies two friction points: the $4,200 annual fee plus $1,500 one-time installation are steep for cost-conscious bar owners, and the company’s projection of $25 CPM ad rates assumes an unrealistic 100% fill rate that won’t materialize in practice
