When Gabby Leibovich migrated to Melbourne from strife-torn Israel in the mid-1980s as a teenager, he had no idea what he wanted to do, besides being obsessed with soccer, having fun and trying to master English. After university he worked in his father’s electronics store and the sales bug bit him. Last Episode Gabby explained how he graduated from working the bricks and mortar shop floor to eventually expanding into selling online, and building with his brother their first e-commerce empire in Catch of the Day. In Part 2 of my chat with Gabby Leibovich, he tells how they pivoted into online food ordering, creating a business that eventually became Menulog and made them another fortune. He also gives inside tips for budding startup entrepreneurs on the importance of “frenemies” in business, and how being a risk-taker can lead to massive fails as well as successes. Plus he’s candid about the one great investment opportunity that got away, and why he’s lived to regret it!
