PE firm with 8 employee? trustable??
8 employee=2 founder+2 associates+1 investor relation guy+1 info tech guy+2 law staff....
Is this....common? could this be too"boutique"????
Honestly, will you give your money to this kinda firm? generally speaking.
I'd focus more on the size of the fund per employee...are they managing $150 million or $500 million. big difference.

With PE, firms can be much more "lean" than banks because there is not as much administrative crap and not as much of a need for analyst monkeys to do grunt work... and they outsource a lot of the HR-related tasks to headhunters.
Even the biggest funds, e.g. KKR etc. only have a few hundred employees, compared to banks with tens of thousands.
If you meant "8 people" as in "1 founder, 2 MDs, 2 VPs, 3 Associates" that would be fine and there are actually $500MM funds with that structure.
What you described does sound a little small but I would still go for it if it's managing at least a few hundred million.
Keep in mind that the majority of PE firms fall into this category as well - there are only a few "big" ones and then lots of smaller ones with anywhere between $100MM and $1B AUM.
