Venture Capital Deal Sourcing?

I have heard how hard it is to break into P/E or VC, without a MBA or previous experience as an analyst at a BB bank. I know Deal Sourcing in VC is dialing for dollars, but would this be a viable first step into the industry? I am considering taking up an unpaid Deal Sourcing summer internship with a VC firm.
