How do I break into Sequioa in SEA

Working for a well known startup in their corporate strategy team (think internal consultancy but doing anything to push the company forward - modelling, deck making to pushing products or new services along)

I eventually plan to get into venture capital / consulting and I was advised that to exit after 2 years (right now its my first year and job).

What can I do to use all this downtime to prepare? Does Sequioa SEA even accept peeps with 1-2 years of experience?
