Do you have any financial modeling experience?

You should utilize LinkedIn as much as you can. Venture capitalists are very active on LinkedIn and more than willing to accommodate you and even go in on a deal with you.

^if you are breaking into VC, they won’t go in on a deal with you. They’ll want you to source a couple deals that are ACTUALLY GOOD. You’re better off trying to get a venture scout type deal, doing an MBA, or going to a startup in an ops role

If you have the capital (annual income of 200k for the last 2 years) or your series 65, you can go the accredited investor route
