Moving from PE to VC or Growth Equity?

Currently an associate at a MM LBO shop after doing 2 years at a BB. Have had a good experience thus far, but have in particular enjoyed the earlier stage investments I've worked on and would like to move my career more in that direction.

What is the transition from mature MM LBOs to growth or VC investing like? Would business school make for a good transition point or should I try to make a move pre MBA?
