IB Exits to corporate venture?

I know it's a pretty atypical path right out of IB, but has anyone heard of analysts exiting into corporate VC? I know it's pretty common to end up in those roles post-MBA, or after a stint in traditional PE/VC/growth equity, but I'm specifically interested in hearing about direct exits from IB. If so, what was the recruiting process like? How has their experience been?Appreciate any insights you can offer!
