Do any PE or VC firms hire out of college?

Hey everyone, I am looking to go into the IB, VC, or PE space, I decided to re-recruit after not loving the industry group I worked in this summer. I know its pretty tough out there with IB right now since it's pretty slow, and I was wondering if anyone knows of VC or PE firms that hire straight out of college.
