you're going to need a lot of contacts - as a VC, you're a matchmaker between investors and capital-needy high potential businesses. Have you got enough contacts that you can access the best prospects, and turn away asshole investors and only work with the ones that trust you and won't be breathing down your neck for returns? If not, do something to get all those contacts, and a reputation. Work for a VC, go do an MBA, go to ever goddamn OpenCoffee that's out there (and ideally infiltrate the comp sci campus at your local universities).
