Step 1: Work at WSGR/Fenwick/etc in SV doing emerging companies work.

Step 2: When your client gets big enough and you get tired enough of biglaw, jump ship to your client.

At step 1 now. Step 2 is extremely accurately. Hang around until one of your clients is thinking about having an IPO or looking to get bought out, switch, and $$$.
