Seeking guidance on transitioning from IB to VC / Growth

Hi everyone,

For reference, I’m currently An1 at a LMM boutique tech / software M&A shop with good deal flow.

I’m starting to explore where I want to be long-term, and VC / Growth is an area of interest.

Should I look into a lateral to BB / EB or will there be any exits from my bank? If anyone has any insight into the VC process / general advice for coming from a boutique shop, I would greatly appreciate any guidance. Thanks in advance.
