Small Activist Funds (Europe)

I'm currently interviewing with small activist funds founded by ex-Cevian and ex-Elliott partners. They appear to have a strong track record, but AuM and other details weren't disclosed. I'm trying to assess whether this makes sense as a career move now, or whether the risk is too high given these funds were only established in the last few years. I'm trying to understand the landscape and the risks involved.
