Corporate Development/Strategy to VC

Have read a few threads on Corporate Development, but would a Corporate Development Analyst gig set someone up well to break into a VC analyst or associate role? You wouldn't get the volume someone in IB or consulting would get, but I'd assume thinking strategically about potential acquisitions, joint ventures, and other strategic planning initiatives would give some solid experience that seems even more transferrable to what an analyst/associate would be doing in venture. Curious to hear some perspectives on this
