Karen Jones will present: People Don't Invest in Pitches. They Invest in Belief. Most entrepreneurs focus on perfecting their pitch deck, yet investors decide based on clarity, confidence, and trust long before the final slide. In her talk, she reveals how entrepreneurs can shift from presenting information to building belief, so investors lean in, believe in the entrepreneurs and say yes to what's next!.
