History
Minno was founded in 2018 by Erick Goss and Dan Raines. The pair wanted to offer parents a streaming platform that included an ad-free streaming experience featuring shows about the Bible and Christian discipleship.
The name Minno is derived from the Greek word “meno” which means "to abide". This is a reference to Jesus' parable of the true vine in John 15 (specifically John 15:1-11[9]) Minno is the operating name of Winsome Truth, Inc., which was formed by Goss and Raines in 2018 following the acquisition of the app under its previous name, JellyTelly.
Goss is a tech and military veteran, and Raines is a Christian media executive.
The company is the recipient of TINYPulse’s 2020 Happiest Company Award.
Both Minno's website and Minno Kids app are official members of the KidSAFE seal program.[10]
Today, Minno is both privately-funded by investors and supported by subscriber revenue. It is a benefit corporation.[11]
