How Can I get into VC/Private Equity or Hedge FUnds

So I'm an MBA Student and an Accountant, with close to 5 yrs accounting/financial analysis work experience. i like what i do, but what i really want to do is be the guy on the other side of the table(like the guys on shark tank) and use my financial background to evaluate prospective companies to invest in and get an equity piece in.
