Veterans Day, a Quick Update, and a Thank You to Austin

Wednesday, November 11, is Veterans Day.

To every veteran, and to the families who served right alongside them: thank you. We get to spend our days helping people start things, grow things, and take a chance on their own ideas. That kind of freedom is something we never take for granted, and we know it was protected by people who put their own plans on hold to serve.

If you are a veteran running a business here in Austin, we would love to meet you. Come say hi at one of the events below, or reach out to us.

A little update about us

Nalo Seed is a family business. We are Paul and Kelly Jorg, a husband-and-wife team in Austin, and we started Nalo Seed in July 2025 to help small businesses with their websites, their marketing, and the systems behind them. The name comes from Kelly's maiden name, Manalo, a Filipino family name that means "winner" in Tagalog.

This fall has been a full one:

• Wing Fest. The 3rd annual Austin Chicken Wing Festival sold out, and guests picked the winners by voting from their phones on the festival website we built.
• The FAVE Awards. Nalo Seed is a finalist for Austin Young Chamber's Momentum Builder Award, and we will be in the room on November 19.
• Grow with Nalo Seed. Our next Grow event is Friday, January 22, 2027. Get the details here.

Thank you, Austin

Whether we met you this year or years ago, at an event, over coffee, or on a project, thank you. So much of what we have built comes back to the people here: the owners who trusted us with their business, the organizers who made room for us, and the friends who sent someone our way. We are grateful for every one of you.

If we have not met yet, here is where to find us this month:

• Tuesday, November 10: Young Catholic Professionals Austin
• Tuesday, November 17: Girlsgiving with Austin Women in Technology
• Thursday, November 19: FAVE Awards by Austin Young Chamber

With gratitude,

Paul and Kelly
