Behind Couverty

No remote marketing team. One person, in Martigny, who answers your emails.

RR

Ryan Rouiller

Founder of Couverty

Martigny, Valais

“I was tired of seeing Swiss restaurant owners sign a 12-month contract with a French company whose public reviews point to patchy email support. I have been working on Couverty full time since December 2025: a simple tool, with no commission on your covers, designed for French-speaking Switzerland.”
