PE Interview Pitch Specificity

Any guidance in how specific your pitches / investment opportunities need to be to the fund you're interviewing with? I've got a few good pitches, but one of the funds I'm interviewing with has a narrow and specific mandate in what they're looking for, and none of my currently prepared pitches fall within their parameters. (e.g. my one pitch is B2B Growth vs. LBO; others are B2C LBO while the fund is B2B focused)

Don't really have time to prepare and memorize more pitches at this point, especially as it's very low yield when I can use my other pitches for all remaining funds I'm interviewing with...

Many thanks
