Your Friday Entrepreneur Fix this week features Gabby Leibovich, the online entrepreneur behind one of the country’s biggest eCommerce empires – CatchOfTheDay, Scoopon and GroceryRun.

CatchOfTheDay has announced it is expanding into the wine sector, with an acquisition of the specialist wine deals site, vinomofo.com.

Gabby Leibovich, Co-Founder of CatchOfTheDay and Scoopon, has unveiled a discounted grocery site that looks set to take on the big supermarket chains.

LivingSocial is leading the daily deals market in unique browsers terms for the second month in a row, according to the latest Nielsen Netview results.

Jump On It, one of the myriad Groupon clones in Australia yesterday announced it has secured nearly $5 million in funding from US online group buying company LivingSocial.

Cracka Wines is joining the glut of one-deal-per-day clearance websites in Australia, but unlike its competitor Catchoftheday will specialise in wines only and adds an innovative dutch auction option to maximise selling prices for wine makers.
