About Us

ElectroStar takes pride in being the most vertically-integrated security technology company in Minnesota, ensuring maximum customer satisfaction. Our customers take comfort in knowing that every employee that enters their home or business understands their security goals and they can communicate what they need without having to go through a bureaucracy of salespeople, technicians, etc. ElectroStar was founded in 2025 by Alex Gedstad after spending several years in the security technology industry.

About the Founder

Alex Gedstad is the Founder and CEO of ElectroStar. He began his security consultancy career in 2020 after many of his previous customers at the construction company he worked for began asking for state-of-the-art security tech immediately after break-ins and looting during the 2020 riots in the Twin Cities, MN area. Alex has installed comprehensive security systems for over 100 clients including banks, apartments, businesses, homes and assisted living facilities.

After studying Mechanical Engineering at Dunwoody College of Technology, Alex became an apprentice at a lighting and construction company. There he found that the typical American style that other security companies have, based on military-style hierarchy and bureaucracy, did not satisfy the needs of most customers, especially business owners. He takes pride that all of his employees are on the same page with every customer, can handle changes and adjustments with agility, and feel fulfilled making their community safer.
