How to find Boutiques/Smaller Funds?

For background, I'm a college student looking to do either spring or fall internship in the 2021-2022 academic year, and I'd like to start reaching out to boutiques or smaller funds to explore this. Would obviously love a larger more reputable fund as well, however I'm unsure of off-cycle internship possibilities in those types of funds.

Profile: Non-target with prior internships in AM.

How would you go about finding such places? Any advice for looking for off-cycle internships?

Looking up fund letters (twitter, reddit, etc) and emailing the PM your best idea has worked for me but at a very low % rate.

Regardless, its really tough to convince a small fund to take on interns but its possible. Gl!
