There will be more bull markets.

History tells us that.

Steve Young, former San Francisco 49er's star quarterback, now managing director of the private equity firm Huntsman Gay Global Capital once said that after he threw an interception, he would show accountability for his mistake to his teammates, then rally his troops to go win.

“The hard part is now, we’re going to go fix it. I screwed it up but now lets go to the sidelines , we’ll get a drink of water, we’ll rest up and we’ll go down and win the game, what do you say? And I’m going to lead you to do it…All this accountability came rushing in to this group of people because the guy that screwed it up was ultimately accountable,” remarks Young said from Stanford University's Entrepreneurship Corner.

Let’s go win the game!!

Let’s keep playing to win!, lets raise that new round of capital!, lets keep networking and helping each other!

Let’s hold ourselves accountable so we can help each other succeed!

Entrepreneurs are the future.

Let’s keep moving higher.
