LAS COLINAS · IRVING, TEXAS

For founders who build with conviction.

The Las Colinas Guild is a venture fund and accelerator for faithful founders: formed by Catholic Social Teaching and the Catholic Intellectual Tradition, rooted in Las Colinas, and woven into the University of Dallas community.

WHAT THE GUILD OFFERS

Starting is cheap. Building well is not.

Starting a company has never been cheaper. What remains scarce is judgment, character and a community worth building alongside. The Guild exists to offer all three.

I

Formation

Rooted in Catholic Social Teaching and the Catholic Intellectual Tradition, so that founders build companies, and lives, worth having.

II

Seasoned operators

A bench of builders who have scaled companies themselves and mentor founders hands-on, week by week.

III

Mission-aligned capital

Investment from people who want both a return and companies worth believing in.
