Large hedge funds with few employees

Hello, I was looking at a hedge fund recently with fewer than 10 employees. It manages over 600m. It has grown a lot recently. So they may have some hiring. Are there examples of other large hedge funds with few people. What mostly contributes to the employee size? Is it certain strat or funds that are less multi manager style, where there are more funds in one? It would make sense if mid size algo funds dont have a high number of employees relatively.
