US market entry and expansion


We help companies launch and grow in the US.

Whether you are bringing a concept or a product here, or growing a business that already operates, we work on the ground from New York and across the US, with one point of contact.

We have opened and run multi-unit food businesses across four US states, and we work with retail, consumer, e-commerce and industrial companies.

Devolus works with a network of professionals and experts: lawyers, accountants, architects, immigration attorneys and licensed real estate brokers. For each project we put together the right team, with one point of contact. We have opened and run locations in New York, California, Nevada and Florida.

The real work starts after the guest walks in, not when the deal is closed. That is how we run every project, in English and Italian, wherever it takes us in the US. Devolus was founded by Emanuele Votano, who led the US expansion of Allโ€™Antico Vinaio and ran operations for Gelateria Gentile in New York.
