About Minno

Minno is a global media and technology company based in Nashville, Tennessee, on a mission to help kids and families experience Jesus every day through media and technology.

We’re a fast-growing startup—powered by a mission-driven team with experience at Amazon, PBS KIDS, Duolingo, HarperCollins, and leading studios and startups. Our growth has placed us in the top 1% of direct-to-consumer subscription businesses, and we are scaling rapidly following the close of our Series A round, led by Konvoy Ventures.

We differentiate ourselves through:

• Creative Excellence: Raising the bar for Christian content through high-quality storytelling and design
• Brand-Led Development: Creating distinctive shows with a clear voice and point of view, and building them into enduring brands that live across our streaming platform, publishing, and beyond—integrating content, product, and marketing to maximize impact
• Faithful Curation: Delivering safe, age-appropriate, Biblically aligned content families can trust
• Parent Partnership: Equipping grownups to lead meaningful spiritual conversations at home
• Global Vision: Honoring the diversity of the global Church and serving all people as image-bearers of God
