In a world where business success is often associated with boundless ambition, a group of young Catholics is challenging this narrative by building businesses based on Christian values. From technology to fashion to training, these entrepreneurs have shown that faith is not an obstacle, but a powerful driver of creativity and leadership.

Montserrat Medina: From Silicon Valley to the Monastery

Montserrat Medina could have pursued a brilliant career in the world of technology. An engineer by training, she founded the startup Jetlore in Silicon Valley, specializing in artificial intelligence and sold to PayPal for several million dollars. After the successful business, she became a partner at Deloitte, but her heart indicated another path.

“I had achieved everything anyone could want professionally, but something was missing. I felt a void that I couldn’t fill with more achievements or money,” Montserrat confessed. That desire led her to abandon her business life to enter the Monastery of Santa Ana in Castellón, where she is now a contemplative nun. Her story is a living testimony that success is not always measured in numbers, but in the fullness of the heart.

Vicente Del Real: Leader of the Latino Community in the U.S.

From a completely different perspective, Vicente Del Real also found the impetus for entrepreneurship in his faith. A Mexican immigrant to the United States, he founded Iskali, a nonprofit organization dedicated to faith and leadership development for young Latinos.

“Many Latinos in the United States lose their roots and feel disconnected from their faith. Iskali seeks to reconnect these young people with their values, helping them become leaders both in the Church and in society,” Vicente explains. Thanks to his work, he has been recognized among the 40 Latino leaders under 40, and his initiative continues to grow with mentoring and training programs.

The Christian Fashion Revolution

The fashion world has also been fertile ground for enterprising young Catholics. In a market saturated with superficial messages, brands like Generation God have emerged, seeking to convey Christian values ​​through design and clothing.

“Dressing stylishly is not at odds with proudly wearing your faith,” say the founders of these brands, which have found a large niche among young people. Through TikTok and other platforms, they have managed to make their message go viral and establish themselves as a fresh, values-driven alternative within youth fashion.

The company has successfully captured a young audience seeking to express their Christian identity through their personal style.

Pray.com – Digital Platform for Prayer and Faith (USA)

Pray.com is a digital platform founded by young Catholic entrepreneurs in the USA that seeks to facilitate the practice of daily prayer through an app that offers prayer audios, meditations, and Bible readings. The company has expanded rapidly, with more than 2 million users globally, and has become a popular tool among those seeking to incorporate prayer into their daily routine.

“We wanted to create a platform that would help people connect with God at any time of day. In such a fast-paced world, we know it’s often difficult to find time for prayer, so we wanted to make it accessible to everyone,” say the creators of Pray.com. In addition to their focus on personal prayer, they also offer resources for communities and prayer groups.

Companies with Soul: Leading with Christian Values

Beyond individual cases, there are companies that have achieved a positive impact by maintaining faith as a fundamental pillar of their activity.

One example is the Jiménez Maña Corporation, where business ethics and social commitment are part of the organization’s DNA. “Our goal is not only profitability, but also to transform society from within,” says one of its directors.

For his part, Alejandro Fontana, a leadership expert and university professor, argues that faith in the business world is not only possible, but necessary. “The company is a privileged place to live out the Christian vocation, serving others through a job well done,” Fontana maintains.

Entrepreneurship with Faith: A Growing Trend

The testimony of these young people demonstrates that success and faith are not only compatible, but can also mutually enhance each other. More and more entrepreneurs see their business as a mission, a service to others, and a way to bring Christ into the workplace.

Whether in technology, training, fashion, or business leadership, these stories inspire new generations to undertake with values, reminding them that faith well lived can be the best strategy for achieving true success.
