Does a Venture Capital internship look good on resume for IBD?

I am a rising sophomore at a non-target and I just received an offer from a boutique venture capital firm for a fall internship. I am excited about the opportunity, but I am wondering how does a Venture Capital internship look if my end goal is BB IBD junior year? Any opinions/info will be helpful
