Mid-Career Buyout PE -> FO Equity L/S

Just wanted to try my luck to pick your brains on potential prep regarding an upcoming Equity L/S interview I have...

Background: 7 years of experience (3.5 in IBD - Financial Sponsors, 3.5 in PE - buyouts); a billionaire who made his money in HF/tech investing is planning to set up a new FO HF with focus in L/S TMT

While I'm pretty familiar with the usual PE style interviews on talking about your deal experience or even full-blown case studies, this is the first time I'm talking to a HF since before I left college - any idea on how I could prep? 

I worked on a handful of take-privates before, and a few of my portcos actually went on the IPO route so I have some public markets exposure, but in terms of personal investing, I've been mostly busy and just doing indices thus far. 

Happy to hear any advice you guys might have.
