Errol Nicolas
Founder, Nuptl
Errol is a software engineer who built Nuptl after firsthand experience planning a wedding in Metro Manila. He founded the app to solve a real problem: existing wedding tools were built for weddings that look nothing like Filipino celebrations.
When Errol realized he couldn't find a tool that understood ninongs, ninangs, abuloy tracking, civil + church ceremonies, or rainy-season venue risks, he decided to build one himself. Nuptl is now used by thousands of Filipino couples to plan their weddings from day one to walking down the aisle.
He leads a small, remote team of builders in Manila who are committed to keeping Nuptl honest, free for small weddings, and always focused on what Filipino couples actually need.
