If you want IB, why are you looking at VC?
Trying to get a "big name" on my resume if possible. Resume has some RE and IB experience but nothing recognizable.
Most people go from IB to VC. Anyways, just use Crunchbase to view VCs by deals done and that's a pretty good way to see the biggest VCs.

...where are you based and what stage are you looking at? A series A/B growth fund is very different than a preseed investor. Two totally different skill sets.
North East and any stage. Are Bessemer and Greylock still highly regarded?
Yes absolutely. Bessemer is one of the oldest in the game/best known. If you're looking for a resume builder, I would definitely stick to a growth/mature investor as the pre-seed stuff is way way way too qualitative to be overly useful in IB. IB has very little use in pre-seed.
Not to be a jerk, but it is very unlikely you get an internship/job at any of those places unless your dad is Marc Andreessen. Interns don't usually transfer to fulltime offers unless they are later stage growth. Would suggest emailing a few of these https://www.alleywatch.com/2014/08/the-complete-guide-to-venture-capita…
Most people at name brand IB would kill to get a FT role at a good VC shop.... why do you want to do the reverse (out of curiosity)?
Fair enough. I was asking this question as I currently have no "big names" on my resume and was recommended to try by a few people. I figured I would cast as wide a net as possible and include VC firms as well.
Doing VC to get into IB is like dating Kim in hopes of banging Khloe
