Through my experience, there was little to no modeling on any internship interviews (at early stage growth shops). I don't think they expected you to know any modeling as it will be taught on the job. However, there's a larger emphasis on how you think about industries, companies, etc... (and where your interests are). They'll for sure ask you about companies you think could be potential investments, how you think about their portfolio companies (good and bad ones), and industries that you are interested in/see plenty of opportunity. They might also ask you basic questions about what retention is (the three types are -> gross, net, logo, and what the ideal metrics are for each 90%,100%, 90%).

Also don't be surprised if they have you do a mock call with the interviewer pretending they are ceo of a company to see how you communicate, the types of questions you ask (this is a common question asked in interviews), and how you evaluate the company after the conversation.
