Non PE exits from MM IB?

Planning to focus most of my recruiting efforts on MM firms, really liked everyone I've networked with so far at various MM firms and cultures seem really solid across most firms. But I'm not really interested in PE, and when it comes to MM exits, the most talked about exits are PE exits between LMM-UMM and not much else. I'd like to end up working VC or at a startup/starting my own business. Maybe private credit or corp dev. Does one have to go into BBs/EBs for those types of exits?
