History
Minno, formerly JellyTelly, was a company created by Erick Goss and Dan Raines after they had searched far and wide for an educational children's platform to help their kids learn about the bible. They then created a new network of sorts, featuring content for kids that enriched them, and also taught them about their faith and religion.[2] After working for over three years on the project, on March 1, 2008, Phil revealed his new project to the world. It wasn't until November 4 of that same year that it actually launched though. Through the ups and downs of this new project, funding was always a concern, until the Christian organization Focus on the Family stepped in on September 30, 2009 to provide backing, funding and marketing for Phil's new network.[3] Since then, the content on JellyTelly has continued to grow with its new funding, and Vischer completed a new DVD series based on the network titled "Buck Denver Asks … What’s in the Bible?". In the late 2010s, JellyTelly is renamed Minno.
