Founder journey
Since 2006
Andparent is not a sudden product. It is the living form of work Treyeshua Tomeny has pursued for nearly twenty years: identity you can trust, attention you can verify, learning that builds character, and a companion that helps a family walk in the Way — without harvesting their privacy.
Where this is going. Andparent gathers earlier ventures into one home: verified learning for parents and children (including GreatBooks-style reading), PathWord-style graphical sign-in, a personal moral companion, and — later — the physical Andparent. The longer horizon is a Trustednet of uniquely identified people, with Meny (minute-money) for verified learning time. Sponsorship-style funding may come later; it is not the launch story.

~2006–2007
Trustednet
An identity layer around the open internet: competing providers, face-to-face accreditation of unique natural persons, and a Secure Home for a person’s digital life. Presented at the Internet Identity Workshop (Palo Alto / Computer History Museum era). The constant theme: real-world relationships as the root of trust — even more urgent in the age of AI.

Same era
PathWord
Graphical single sign-on: images and gestures — a “path word” — instead of typed passwords. Built so children and adults can unlock a personal space without sharing a household password or leaving a trail of secrets that phish easily.

IIW & beyond
Meny — Minute Money
A unit of currency equal to a minute of verifiably focused learning. The idea: over time, financial capital can correspond to intellectual capital. Discussed at Internet Identity Workshop sessions on Minute Money and Internet Guardians. (Mark status is under counsel review.)

2026
Earny Learny
First venture of the year: earn for verified attention and learning — the practical seed of Meny-style incentives for real presence.

2026
Verafy Academy
Free verified learning for families — gold-zone attention, play groups, and schooling that proves a learner was actually there. The technical heart of “minute of learning.”
-
2026
Young Family Network
Paying young parents to complete parenting coursework with the same verified-reading discipline — godly-father teaching, not a sales funnel. Privacy Protected Marketing was explored as funding; for Andparent, sponsorship stays optional and later.

2026 — now
