Minno

Minno (formerly known as JellyTelly) is an online subscription-based streaming media provider created by Erick Goss and Dan Raines. It specializes in Christian programming for children. Subscribers have access to over 2,300 episodes from 130 shows. Video is made available through applications for smartphones, tablets, and popular streaming devices such as Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Android TV and Chromecast.^[1]

Minno began when founders Erick Goss and Dan Raines 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" and is a reference to John 15 in the New Testament of the Bible. 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 former 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. Today, Minno is both privately-funded by investors and on subscriber revenue. It is a benefit corporation.

Minno licenses and creates original programming that is vetted through a 50+ point checklist focused on child development, theology, and entertainment quality. Shows are developed with and licensed from studios around the world, including France, South Africa, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States. Minno also currently offers the largest selection of original VeggieTales videos on a single platform through an agreement with NBCUniversal.^[2]
