Transition from private credit to VC

Hi all, I want an opinion on a prospective job opportunity which has come up for me. I am currently working in a PE firm. I mostly work on large deals and the work is not front-end. I end up running large excel models and presenting the results to internal teams and it has become hella boring.

I got an opportunity to work in a new VC fund that plans to invest in seed to series A fashion brands. Its within a large corporate house and the opportunity looks good given that its providing me a break into VC. However, I don't have any experience in fashion/apparel and I don't know whether the fund will succeed given its brand new. I have about 8 yrs on experience in finance and have worked in valuations/modelling space primarily. Please help me make a decision.

2) What exactly would you be doing in this newly created fund?
3) Normally in VC, the people involved would have sector specific knowledge around the target companies. I.e. material science, sustainability, eCommerce, manufacturing, overseas operations/logistics, ..
