From what you said, your only option remains networking like crazy! Any source you can use, go for it! Your background could be a plus in case you have built something significant and it is even better if it is on the VC menu, i.e. tech, biotech, health care, etc...it will be hard though, as always...Good luck!

Ignore IBWannaB

Since you're an entrepreneur: start a few companies (hopefully at least one will be successful), become a venture partner at a VC, hopefully get promoted or rachet your way between firms until you land the position at a firm whose strategy you like. Profit.
