Meet Amanda Dare: Founder & CEO of Woman-Owned Wallet
“Hey Moneymaker!” Amanda Dare has made all the money mistakes—so you don’t have to. And guess what? She’s still here. As the founder of Woman-Owned Wallet (WOW), she’s on a mission to put more money into the wallets of women—because when women thrive, communities flourish.
In August 2020, Amanda opened WOW in NuLu, Louisville’s arts district, creating a marketplace for 50+ woman-owned brands. She quickly realized how many women-led businesses existed nearby, inspiring her to launch the NuLu Woman-Owned Walking Tour to connect shoppers to women entrepreneurs.
Now, through Woman-Owned Wallet: The Podcast, Amanda is breaking down money talk with real, unfiltered conversations on business, finances, and entrepreneurship—with plenty of laughter, honesty, and sound effects along the way.
