Fides Entrepreneurship Dinner with Colin Moran
Welcome to Fides Entrepreneurship!
On Thursday, November 5th at 7:00 PM, at our candle-lit seated dinner, we are honored to host Colin Moran, Managing Partner and founder at Abdiel Capital, Investor and Hedge Fund manager, Founder of the School of Sacred Music in New York City, and Chairman and President of the Institute on Religion and Public Life.
Through Abdiel Capital, Colin Moran has built and stewarded a remarkable investment firm while remaining deeply engaged in questions of faith, culture, and human flourishing. Rather than separating intellectual and spiritual pursuits from business, Moran has integrated them, demonstrating how curiosity, stewardship, and an appreciation for human creativity can shape both successful organizations and meaningful lives.
Brief words from Colin:
“It’s really through reading some of the more modern Dominican writers that I kind of arrived at this understanding that, like, morality should be understood as this resource for developing a dynamic, compelling, poetically sort of rich life.” (Source)
Colin is also a major patron of the Athenaeum Center for Thought and Culture, supporting its mission as a center for Catholic arts, theater, and cultural formation.
At Fides, Colin will share:
How faith, prayer, and humility shape judgment in investing and decision-making
The responsibilities that accompany wealth, stewardship, and long-term success
How intellectual curiosity can become a competitive advantage
What investors can learn from history, theology, and the humanities
How to steward wealth, influence, and time without losing one’s soul
Who Should Attend

Business leaders discerning responsibility beyond success
Investors and philanthropists interested in faith-aligned institutions
Professionals seeking integration of faith, work, and leadership
Students and young professionals discerning vocation and stewardship
