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 exec. 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.[citation needed]
