About Telespot

Built in Calgary, for Calgary businesses

Telespot is a screen advertising network built to help local businesses reach their actual customers — and to give startups a fair shot through Telespot Launchpad.

Our story

From one screen to a city‑wide network

Telespot started with a simple observation: local businesses spend real money on ads that get scrolled past in half a second — while their actual customers sit in waiting rooms, barbershop chairs, and café tables for minutes at a time, looking at nothing.

We built a network of digital screens inside those exact venues, so your ad shows up where people are already paying attention — not competing for a scroll.

Today, Telespot is a growing network across Calgary, helping hundreds of local businesses get noticed by the people who matter most: their neighbours.
