The world's only exclusive social network, aSmallWorld has announced that they have just completed a minority stake investment by The Weinstein Company, founded by Harvey Weinstein and his brother Bob as a multimedia company last year.

Of all potential strategic and financial partners, the Weinstein Company will mostly likely deliver a uniquely powerful package to aSmallWorld. The consummate networkers, Harvey and Bob bring not only a vast network of relationships and experiences, but a vision for business-building.

In 1979, Harvey and Bob founded Miramax Films, which released some of the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful independent feature films, including The Aviator, Finding Neverland, Chicago, Gangs of New York, In the Bedroom, Chocolat, The Cider House Rules, Shakespeare In Love, Life Is Beautiful (La Vita É Bella), Good Will Hunting, The English Patient, Il Postino (The Postman), Pulp Fiction, The Piano, The Crying Game, and My Left Foot. In its history, Miramax has received 249 Academy Award nominations, including 16 for best picture, and has won 60 Academy Awards.

Named after their parents, Miriam and Max, who introduced Harvey and Bob to a love of cinema, Miramax was established on the principal that the company could take European films and films with difficult subject matter and market them in an innovative and successful way. Willing to take risks, the Weinstein’s have utilized specialized marketing and distribution strategies, individually tailoring each film’s release to suit its particular strengths.

Harvey and Bob’s personal involvement and excitement will ensure an interesting future for aSmallWorld. With their record of harnessing great work from top talent and developing extraordinary projects without compromising on quality, their efforts will contribute greatly to make aSmallWorld the ultimate trusted, intimate, and exceptional place online, as well as helping them make the world even smaller both online and offline.
