VC/Growth PE Mock Call Interview

One of my final rounds of interviews at a VC/Growth PE firm I've been communicating with wants me to perform a mock phone outbound prospecting call to a company in order to determine if the company in question would fit the investment criteria and portfolio of the VC firm. So in a way, this is the companies form of case study to evaluate candidates.

What sort of questions should I ask the company? I've never done these before and I won't have access to any financials to do a thorough analysis.

Any help is much appreciated.
