We’re Finalists: Business for Good at the East of England StartUp Awards 2025

We are thrilled to announce that Conscious Entrepreneurs has been named a finalist for the Business for Good Award at the East of England StartUp Awards 2025.

This recognition means the world to us. Not because we set out to win awards, but because it validates something we’ve always believed: that business can be a force for good – and that even the smallest action can create real, lasting impact.

Why we do what we do

Conscious Entrepreneurs was born from the real, messy, beautiful experience of running a business that cares – about people, about purpose, and about the planet. We know the highs of creating something meaningful from scratch. We also know the self-doubt, burnout, isolation, and pressure that come with doing it alone.
That’s why we built Conscious Entrepreneurs: to help founders of ethical, sustainable, and purpose-led businesses survive and thrive. Our mission is to support their mental and business health in equal measure – because when you’re not okay, your business isn’t either.

What makes our membership different?

Our membership offers high value at a low cost – just £15 a month – and is intentionally accessible, knowing many of our members are solo founders, parents, side hustlers, or changemakers at the very beginning of their journey.

For this, members receive:
– Monthly guest speaker events from inspiring conscious founders
– Practical one-page resources for business decision-making and wellbeing
– A sense of community and belonging that’s hard to find elsewhere

We don’t ask our members to fit in. We want them to belong – just as they are.

A grassroots movement with big impact

Everything we offer is built on connection, support, and shared values. We don’t have a corporate team or funding behind us – just a clear mission and a growing collective of good business owners who care about people and planet, not just profit.
We’ve helped entrepreneurs regain confidence, develop business strategies aligned with their values, find the courage to raise prices, and – perhaps most importantly – feel seen and supported.

Recognition that fuels the mission

Being named a finalist in the Business for Good category honours not just our work, but the entire Conscious Entrepreneurs community. This is a win for every founder who’s ever doubted if their values-based approach would work in a world still dominated by hustle and profit-first thinking.

So yes – we believe we deserve this award. Not because we’re perfect, but because we’ve shown up for those who often feel unseen. Because we’re proving you don’t have to compromise your ethics to succeed. Because we’re building something that prioritises human connection over empty metrics.

Let’s celebrate together

We’ll be proudly attending the regional finals this June. Whether we bring home the award or not, this moment is worth pausing for. Thank you to everyone who’s supported us, joined our community, and believed in our mission.
