Steve Young Joins Huntsman Gay Global Capital

One of my favorite quarterbacks is Steve Young, who played for the San Francisco 49ers for most of the previous decade. He is one of a few athletes who have left the stadium and moved into the private equity arena (last month, we reported David Robinson's Admiral Capital). The Hall of Fame QB is now the managing director at Huntsman Gay Global Capital.

Although quarterbacks are typically the smartest players on the field, Steve Young has gone above and beyond to prove his intelligence. For one thing, the man holds a law degree from BYU but he has made his professional mark in Silicon Valley by funding a number of tech start-ups. He co-founded Northgate Capital with some of his old teammates, a fund-of-funds that invests in young technology companies and now he is moving into the private equity world as managing director for Huntsman Gay.

He is straying away from purely the tech industry with the freshly closed $1.1 billion fund. But it makes sense that a player for San Franscisco can't stay away from technology. Young said he'd still like to compete with major tech private equity firms, Silver Lake Partners and Francisco Partners. Here is a interview with Steve Young with Bloomberg:
