PE/VC internship posting - Legit or Nah

Yo what up,

I have an internship interview on Friday at this hybrid VC fund type of company and wanted to know if you guys think this has any legit finance exposure. The ad says that you need to have passion for marketing/and or finance - I am not too hot on marketing and really want the investment research exposure. Here is the add:

"Both interns will work closely with the founder and CEO researching prospective buyers and sellers of private equity/venture capital. The intern will help with the marketing campaign and research databases to help source new clients. The intern will learn all aspects of venture capital and learn about finance, marketing, sales, and negotiating"

This company helps vc/pe funds to sell their investments in a "secondary" market, something like connecting buyers and sellers since there is no active private market. I know that this is probably not the ideal "investment" internship, but given that I have no experience yet, will this add anything meaningful to my resume and help with my future internship hunt?
