First TaVa Territory: Resende – RJ
Discover the best that's near you.
TaVa connects people, shops, services and experiences in your city through a hyperlocal community built to discover, take part and strengthen what's close by.

I want to joinThe problem
The internet showed us the world. But it hid the neighborhood.
Local businesses stay invisible
Small businesses compete for attention with companies from all over the world on traditional platforms.
Discovering nearby is still hard
Local information is scattered across maps, social media, group chats and word of mouth.
The relationship ends at the purchase
There are few tools today to turn a local purchase into discovery, relationship and repeat business.
Why not just Google Maps, Instagram or WhatsApp?
Because each one solves a part. TaVa was designed to connect the whole neighborhood.
| Platform | Great for... | But not built to... |
|---|---|---|
| Google Maps | finding addresses, routes and reviews | build local community, affinity and contextual discovery |
| content, influence and follower relationships | organize the commercial life of a territory | |
| chatting and keeping in touch | discover new businesses and experiences in a structured way | |
| TaVa | discover, interact, recommend and move through local commerce | be just another map or social network |
Maps show where it is. Social media shows who posted. WhatsApp connects people who already know each other. TaVa helps you discover what's happening near you.
The solution
Your neighborhood alive inside TaVa.
Maps show an address. Social media shows a feed. TaVa shows your neighborhood alive.

Meet Tavico
Tavico is TaVa's guide. He helps you discover places, understand the platform and explore what exists near you.
Read the video transcript
Tavico, TaVa's explorer parrot, flies over the neighborhood and shows the Tesouro map with nearby places, shops and services. He introduces the TaBis posted by the community, the DNA TaVa that reveals affinities, and the Match that connects people to the places that suit them best. In the end, the invitation: discover what's nearby and leave your mark on the neighborhood.
Who TaVa is for
Residents, shop owners and service providers.
For shop owners
More foot traffic. With control over your margin.
- more local visibility
- promote offers only when you really need to
- reach people nearby
- create promotions by time slot or quantity
- strengthen relationships and repeat visits
- get your own page on TaVa
- track interaction with campaigns
For service providers
Turn availability into opportunity.
- a salon filling an open slot
- a mechanic announcing same-day availability
- a professional offering today's agenda
- a provider announcing last-minute openings
TaVa takes part in the discovery. The sale is still yours.
TaVa is not a marketplace and doesn't need to control your checkout. Customers keep buying directly at your business.
TaVa Territory and Cashback Local
