History

Jellyvision and its sister company Jackbox Games are entirely separate corporations which have the same founder and a deeply intertwined history.

Jellyvision and Jackbox Games founder Harry Gottlieb founded his first company, Learn Television, in 1989. Learn Television began as an educational media company, but changed its name to Jellyvision, Inc. in 1995, when it switched its focus from education to entertainment.

The Jellyvision Lab, Inc. was separately incorporated on May 3, 2001, as a way of utilizing Gottlieb’s approach to human machine interface (interactive conversation) outside of games.
