No shade, but looking for advice on starting your own firm before you've finished undergrad is a little like a 5-year old rec league baller looking for advice on breaking into the NBA.
Yep - OP is wayyyyy ahead himself / herself right now.
Step 1: Build a 9 digit net worth that rounds up to 10 digits.
Real advice: It's straightforward, but for any given person, it's not going to happen.
Get good grades and leadership, network at top banks, and ace your interviews
Do well in banking, and then move to a top PE firm
Do well in PE, and go to a top business school
Get a post-MBA role, and work your way up to a senior level role
Develop a winning strategy earning solid returns, and use relationships with LPs to start your own fund
The other people are right. You're way ahead of yourself. But continue to take stock every couple years to see what you want out of life, and if you're interested in pursuing this over time, don't let anyone keep you from shooting your shot.
