How should I get into VC (incoming IB Summer Analyst)

I will be an incoming IB summer analyst at a tech focused investment bank. Researching between Tech PE, startup, and VC, I am confused on steps to take for VC recruiting. Next Fall 2026, I will be a senior at a semi-target, how should I approach VC recruiting. Seems to be different than IB/PE with emails and applications.
