VC for Soph?

Would a unpaid internship this summer at a small (very small, early stage) VC firm be valuable to a NT sophomore? I know this has to be a better opportunity than just doing some gig in PWM, but will this be a good enough experience to stand me out of the NT pool? I'm pretty excited about this, and since it's near my house and I won't need to travel for this, I'm not too concerned about it being unpaid. What do you think?
