Sam Bloedow is the CEO and Founder of Thriveon, a Minnesota managed IT services company. He grew up in an entrepreneurial family and developed an early enthusiasm for technology, realizing in high school that what drew him most was how businesses leveraged technology rather than the accounting work he had initially considered.
After graduating from college, Bloedow worked on a federal project managing networks of testing labs used to certify and hire the first TSA employees across the nation. Once that project was completed, he moved back to Sleepy Eye, where he grew up.
In 2002 he started Thriveon with the idea of bringing fair, honest, and reasonably priced IT services to small and medium businesses in southern Minnesota. The company has grown substantially since then while keeping its original core values.
