Interviewing for a strategy role at a well established startup by an ex Deloitte SM that left a few months ago. Any tips on what they will be looking for or how to best position myself to resonate with them?

This doesn't pass the sniff test. Well established startup but the founder started it a few months ago? A big bad senior manager from Deloitte? How are those facts alone enough to make this interesting for you?

I respect Deloitte, they're better than EY. That's not the point though, this sounds like they're selling you on fluffed up BS

No, EY1. The start up is well established, the SM left Deloitte a few months ago to go work for the start up. Founder is not the SM :)

^^ silly EY
