Network network network. Possibly be prepared to take a stepping stone job to help plug you into the right ecosystem so you can build your network and expertise (I.e., take a role w/ MaRS or another incubator).

If you’re pure consulting background expect to get the “why VC” and be able to demonstrate start up experience / passion.
Volunteer, angel invest, build a fantasy portfolio, build a newsletter or podcast. I recommend you do that not only to demonstrate your interest but it allows you to pressure test if the job is for you.
