So right now, I'm in undergrad, but had a business idea that I'm very seriously considering pursuing. My thought process was this: If I start the business and it works out, awesome. If it ends up failing, get a masters from a top B-school and try to work in VC. I figured having that type of experience would most likely work to my advantage having gone through the entire start-up process, as well as getting funding and knowing the inner workings of a business. Am I wrong or completely misguided? or is this a pretty solid thought? I would be getting my undergrad degree in either finance or entrepreneurship while developing the business and follow through on schooling, so pretty much as a fallback, get an MBA and go after VC. Thoughts? Am I being incredibly delusional?

You're not completely failed in your reasoning although not a lot of startups even get to the funding stage.
You at least need to make it to a Series B round of funding to even start getting sight from the kinds of firms that recruit VC Associates.
