Meet the Founder
Toshamalla McCloud, founder of StartHER

Hi, I'm Toshamalla McCloud.

I'm an entrepreneur, business strategist, and the founder of StartHER. I've spent the last 25 years building businesses from the ground up — from concept to fully operating company. VIE Enterprises (event planning), She Exhaled (health and wellness), and McCloud Enterprises (healthcare auditing) all started the same way every business does: as an idea with no roadmap attached.

Along the way, I made just about every mistake there is to make — the information overload, the second-guessing, the months of learning fundamentals through trial and error nobody explained to me in plain English. There wasn't a simple roadmap. So eventually, I built one.

Every guide, workbook, and resource inside StartHER gives you the practical advice I wish I'd had 25 years ago — not generic motivation, but the actual steps: how to validate an idea, name it, handle the legal basics, land your first customers, and get through your first 30 days.

I'm also a contributing author of Women Crushing It, with a foreword by Dr. Cheryl Wood, International TEDx speaker.

My mission is simple: help more women stop waiting for permission, stop overthinking every decision, and build a business that creates real income and independence.

Your business starts with one decision. Let's make today the day you take it.
