Joe Malcoun, Co-Founder of Cahoots Co-Working Space and Co-Owner of nationally known music venue The Blind Pig is a Michigan based entrepreneur and investor with a passion for local community. Joe has also Founded a2helps.com to support both front line workers and small businesses in their time of need.

About the Guest:

Joe Malcoun is an Ann Arbor, MI based investor and entrepreneur.  He is Founder of Cahoots, a 25,000 sft innovative shared office concept and place of community for tech companies and their teams in downtown Ann Arbor. He led Nutshell, a sales collaboration tool for small and medium-sized businesses, for six years as it’s CEO where he spent most of his time staying out of the way of his incredibly talented team and building external partnerships with other software companies.

Prior to joining Nutshell, Joe founded CKM Capital, an early stage technology investment firm, that has invested in dozens of Midwest startups. Before founding CKM Capital, Joe was a member of the Strategy and Corporate Development team at DTE Energy and was an early employee at the sustainability consultancy GreenOrder where he led projects for leadership teams at General Electric, General Motors and a number of other F500 enterprises.

He is a three-time graduate of the University of Michigan including a M.S. in Environmental Economics and an M.B.A. from the Ross School of Business. Joe is very active in the Ann Arbor community and recently led an investment group to acquire and preserve the Blind Pig, an iconic live music club. He has held multiple leadership positions on non-profit boards including 826michigan and 826 National. Additionally, he actively mentors and advises entrepreneurs both within and outside of his portfolio of investments.

He loves live music, paddles wood-canvas canoes better than he rides bikes, and has a severe weakness for good food and drink.
