Hall of Fame NFL quarterback Steve Young recently made headlines off the gridiron by announcing his HGGC private equity firm is investing $300 million in registered investment advisors.
Young will serve as the chair of the new platform, which will be called Aspire Holdings.
Since his retirement from football in 1999, Young has earned a reputation on Wall Street as a savvy investor and businessman. His former Hall of Fame teammate and mentor, Joe Montana, is also no slouch in the business world either.

Young’s business resume includes currently serving as chair of four companies in the HGGC portfolio: IDERA, Integrity, Dealer-FX, and AutoAlert.
