Alison Todak

Alison Todak is the Managing Director for Cahoots – a purposeful tech hub outfitting co-working office space for entrepreneurial companies in downtown Ann Arbor. In this role, she oversees the recruitment of tenants, sales, marketing, and serving as the liaison with the construction team. Her biggest goal is to create a supportive, diverse community within the space for members to fully engage in.

As a Michigan native, Ms. Todak came to Cahoots from the University of Michigan’s Desai Accelerator, where she helped build the program from the beginning. At Desai, she ran the day to day programming and mentorship programming for the startup teams that were selected to participate in the 13 week program and received $50,000 in pre-seed funding. She also used to work in public policy for former U.S. Senator Carl Levin. When he retired in 2015, she left D.C. and returned to the Great Lakes State to continue supporting local growth and entrepreneurship. Ms. Todak has a B.A. in Public Policy from Western Michigan University.
