Freshman Summer Internship for Investment Banking

I am a freshman trying to break into investment banking. I recently got a VC internship for this summer and wanted to know if a VC internship will help me break into IB. How strong is a VC internship compared to others like private equity, a search fund, wealth management, or other finance internships?
