How should I prepare for a venture-building role at top HF?

A top10 HF is interviewing me in 3 weeks for a venture-building role (build a startup within their company). I'm not high finance veteran like the rest of you. Only done low-level FP&A + corp accounting. I've never done M&A models or seen a case study.

How should I cram for this? Which WSO course(s)?
