In addition to finishing your studies, consider working for a while for one or two startups in entry roles (as opposed to internships). Most internships that I've seen have not been given enough responsibility and insight into the company to really see the mistakes that were made or the decisions that lead to success. Even if the startup fails (and most do) you get to see first-hand how easy it is to screw things up. FWIW, it took me 15 years of working for others before I felt like I was prepared to start my own company. YMMV.
