About Jo Schneier

A native of Israel, Jo Schneier has been developing cutting-edge educational technology products since 1999. With his Cognotion colleagues, he built the two leading digital language products delivered via the Internet in the US foreign language K-12 market.

Jo was inspired through his work at Cognotion to found a new company, Trusty.care. He started this company after observing that families that have a healthcare crisis—dementia, addiction, autism, or major depression—need all kinds of help that is not healthcare related. Trusty.care makes it easy find, book, and hire the professional support you need—from a babysitter who understands the challenges of autism, to an elder care lawyer who can help you deal with your sister who stole all of Mom's china. The mission of Trusty is to make it easier to care.

Jo has also developed learning applications for governmental and corporate environments that were validated by third party efficacy trials as highly impactful.
