Baltimore investor only backs women-run companies

Kelly Keenan Trumpbour believes women should put their money where their mouths are. The 37-year-old invests her money solely in companies run by women, driven by a philosophy of female empowerment and a desire to shake up the traditional white male corporate culture. She founded See Jane Invest two years ago to help educate other women on how to become investors. Trumpbour, who sits on the board of directors for Baltimore Angels, an early-stage investment group, has invested in four women-run companies so far and plans on backing a few more this year. She typically invests about $10,000 at a time.
