ASmallWorld Holdings Inc. was founded in 2003 by husband and wife Erik and Louise Wachtmeister. Having grown up as the son of a Swedish diplomat, Erik Wachtmeister (then working as an investment banker) had moved constantly across the world and sought a way to stay in touch with his network of friends and their whereabouts. Wachtmeister particularly was interested in his fellow high-end jetsetters who tended to travel among homes or from country to country. In 2003, Erik Wachtmeister emailed a summary about his concept to his friends and business colleagues and clients to gage interest and to raise financing. With financing in hand from various wealthy individual investors, Erik Wachtmeister and Louise Wachtmeister built aSmallWorld as an elite, invitation-only social network.
