VC Interview Prep

Didn't see a VC forum but this may get better interest than in the "other" forum.

I'm a management consultant with about 5 years experience and was just contacted by a headhunter filling an investment team role at a small VC. I am extremely interested in this kind of change and don't want to fuck this up. That said, I think I have pretty good chops operationally but don't have as much of the traditional finance skillset (i.e. the stuff you learn in IB).

What can I expect as far as technical questions? Anyone have any tips for preparing?
