Venture Capital Entry

Hello, full knuckle-dragging non-target ape here. Just curious if anyone has any insight into gettin into VC industry. Yes I understand if I didn’t go to Stanford or even HYPM my life is gonna suck🫣 but just curious in general. Even if you are a big brain smart boy I would love to hear your insights. I was an intern for a startup last summer but have no finance experience and am majoring in business strategy/entrepreneurship not finance.
