How to Break into Quantitative Hedge Funds????

Hi WSO,

Around two years ago, I wrote a research paper that covered an innovative trading strategy I thought of where firms can find a competitive advantage through an unorthodox method (think like satellite imaging of oil stores to accurately predict economic supply https://digital.hbs.edu/platform-digit/submission/this-startup-makes-money-from-oil-tank-shadows/. Moral of the story is I thought it was fascinating. I am starting my junior year and have a background in accountancy, finance, and only a minor in engineering from a semi-target school. I am wondering if it is possible for me to break into this type of role without a quantitative background.

Is it possible out of undergrad, would I need to do IB-->HF, or a master's in financial engineering or something? How would someone go about starting a firm like this?
