Interview with small SM Hedge Fund - prep?

I have an interview with a very small HF for a SA position coming up in a week. I have some PE internship experience but nothing on the public markets side - the firm focuses on both long and short strategies for small cap equities. What should I do to prepare? I have until early next week

NOTE: the interview process is very opaque as to how many interviews, how long it'll be and what i'll be asked about (again, very small unknown shop)
