Corp Dev Internship at a startup to get into IB?

Hi everyone, Starting this September I will be interning at a top Spanish startup for 4 months (think unicorn) as a corporate development intern, working directly with ex Investment Bankers. How easy do you think it would be to switch to IB in London/Madrid/Paris after my internship?

Relevant info about me: - Undergrad at a top 10 EU Business School - No previous experience in IB except Spring Week - Planning to do a MSc Finance in London/Paris/Barcelona

Thanks
