App development for startups in Locarno
From MVP to launch: Flutter, iOS and Android mobile applications for startups in Locarno and the Locarno area
I'm Matteo Ricupero, software developer with a sole proprietorship since 2021 in Varese. I build mobile applications with the Flutter framework, websites and web apps for companies, startups and professionals in Locarno and the Locarno area.
How I run the project
- MVP definition: only the features needed to validate the idea
- Flutter development to launch on iOS and Android with a single codebase
- App Store and Play Store release with fast iterations based on feedback
- Later scaling: new features, integrations and app growth
A local partner on the territory
Locarno is the second urban hub of the canton and a tourist centre known for its film festival and for hospitality on Lake Maggiore. Hotels, restaurants and accommodation businesses are digitizing bookings and services: I build apps and websites for this clientele from Varese, about an hour and fifteen minutes away, with on-site visits when needed.
Developed projects
Over the years I have developed applications for companies and startups such as Scalapay, Akiflow, Tuxi and Outpump. You can see the complete portfolio on the projects page.

Frequently asked questions
Do you develop the MVP of a startup in Locarno with a limited budget?
Yes, that is exactly what an MVP is for: we define together the minimum features to validate the idea and keep costs down. I have worked with startups like Akiflow (YC S20) and Tuxi starting from lean budgets.
What do you need to start developing the app?
A description of the idea and the problem it solves is enough. From there we define user flows, main screens and MVP priorities together, then I move to development with incremental releases.
Do you also handle publishing to the stores?
Yes, I handle publishing to the App Store and Play Store: developer accounts, product listings, screenshots, the review process and subsequent releases.
