Todovino: Can Your Rival be Your Friend?
Abstract
Todovino sells Spanish wines through wine clubs and web sites. Founder-CEO Gonzalo Verdera has partnered with many companies to create cobranded wine clubs, but now he is pondering a joint venture with one of his rivals, a brick-and-mortar wine chain, where Todovino would provide the online presence for the chain. Should Verdera help his rival? What are the risks and benefits for Todovino?
