IB o MC for startup?

I'm currently in the second year of my bachelor's degree in Business and Economics.

What I really want to do in life is to found and scale a startup, but I guess it would be beneficial to work a few years in a classical business career to get some experience, credibility, funds and network for my future startup.

Which do you think is the best career to undertake to then exit to become an entrepreneur? I was thinking that MC would help me to get more entrepreneurial skills than IB, but the network and pay are much higher in IB in my country. The best industry would probably be VC, but I heard that it's impossible to enter it without startup experience.

What do you think about it?
