Currently a first year LO analyst (after 3 years sell side research @ elite boutique) covering Tech and Consumer. Would appreciate any advice or ideas for how to transition to venture capital. Is networking best bet? MBA? Other means? Appreciate any insight!

MBA gives you two years to network and work part time while blowing off classes in order to give yourself a credible debutante into Silicon Valley. It's two years to be taken seriously as someone who belongs in that network. It's pretty hard to integrate yourself into that network while working a job. The two main conditions for getting that job are (1) you have some credible experience or skillset that makes you valuable for sourcing, executing, and nurturing portfolio companies, and (2) you are part of the relevant network / ecosystem so can do the same.
