Interested in Tech industry, would IB TMT be the way to go?

Interested in tech sector, especially startups, VC, etc. as a current freshman college student. Not interested in technical roles (aka SWE, Research, PM) but more so BD/Growth roles within or working with early to late-stage startups. Would TMT IB be the best way to go (aka 2 years analyst stint -> exit), or is there another way to pursue this role more directly?
