For Michael and Braxtin Liddell, entrepreneurship is about more than technology – it’s about creating opportunities, building trust, and helping small businesses thrive.

‍As partners in life and business, they recently launched their company as IT Minnesota, a managed IT services firm that serves small and medium-sized business. Their mission is to provide enterprise-level technology solutions with the personalized support and transparency that small businesses deserve.

‍ With more than 25 years of experience in the technology industry, Michael has worked in a variety of managed services roles across the technology industry. Along the way, he saw a recurring challenge: small and medium-sized businesses often lacked access to the same quality technology and support available to larger organizations.

‍ "We understand what it's like to be a small business," said Michael. "Many of our clients are trying to grow, take care of their employees, and navigate constant change. We want to make sure they have affordable, flexible IT solutions to help them succeed."

‍ The idea is simple but powerful: be a one-stop-shop for any technology need, helping businesses eliminate the headaches that come with juggling multiple vendors. Along with their growing team, Michael and Braxtin are building a company designed to create a lasting impact.

“Our focus is supporting small businesses so they can succeed,” said Braxtin. “Our goal is to elevate people and create opportunities.”

That commitment stems from their firsthand understanding of the challenges many small business owners face. By providing affordable, flexible technology solutions, IT Minnesota helps businesses access the tools and support they need to grow with confidence.
