Comp Sci vs Finance major Venture Capital

So I'm a first-year finance major interested in both finance and computer science with hopes of one day working in VC. I know four common routes to VC are either engineer --> VC, IB --> VC, Consulting --> VC, and entrepreneurship --> VC. Which route is the best the finance routes or the tech routes? If the tech route should I change my major to computer science, pick up a cs minor, do a coding boot camp, or do a double major in comp sci and finance?
