About USA Market Entry
For European Founders Who Know Their Product Works
— and Need the US to See It.
We are a cross-cultural strategy firm built for DACH companies with proven European traction that hasn't yet translated to the US. Our work closes the positioning gap — not with translation, but with the strategic repositioning that makes your real value land with American buyers.
What We Do
We make the U.S. market readable.
Then we help you move through it.
The U.S. is not a bigger version of your home market. It requires a different strategy, different messaging, and different relationships. We provide all three — grounded in 25+ years of on-the-ground U.S. experience.

Our Mission
Most market entry firms focus on compliance, paperwork, and logistics. Important? Yes. Sufficient? Not even close.
The real challenge is cultural. How Americans perceive value, make decisions, and build trust is fundamentally different from European markets.
We bridge that gap. We decode American market psychology so your brand resonates, not just translates.
"Entering the US market isn't for the cautious. It requires bold moves, expert navigation, and partners who've charted this territory before."

The Founder
Florian Auckenthaler
25 Years Building Between Two Worlds
Originally from Austria, Florian moved to the United States to study international business — and never looked back. Over 25 years, he has built and scaled multiple companies across industries and continents, including DesigningIT (20+ years), HotelGrowth Agency, S1MOS, and Vestov.
As a serial entrepreneur, speaker, podcaster, and consultant, Florian has lived the exact journey his clients are navigating: entering the American market as a European founder, learning the hard lessons firsthand, and turning them into repeatable strategy.
USA Market Entry exists because Florian saw the same pattern too many times — brilliant European companies failing in the U.S. not because of their product, but because of positioning, cultural misalignment, and a lack of on-the-ground market intelligence.
25 years. Multiple companies. Two continents. One mission: decode America for European brands.
