It is always a nice moment when an email lands in your inbox that makes you pause for a second. This week I received confirmation that Go True North has been selected as a recipient of the E2 Media Awards of Excellence 2026 Award of Excellence.
Even more meaningful is the fact that this is a consecutive win, recognising the continued impact of the work we are doing with founders and businesses who want to grow in a more structured and sustainable way
Recognition Based on Independent Research
The E2 Media Awards are not simply based on applications. Each nomination is reviewed by an independent research team who assess businesses based on merit, performance and reputation within their sector.
Being selected again is a strong signal that the work being done through Go True North is delivering real value.
What Go True North Is About
At its core, Go True North exists to help businesses simplify complexity.
Many founders and leaders know where they want to go, but the path to get there is often unclear. That is where the work begins. By combining lean business thinking, strategic clarity and practical frameworks, the aim is to help businesses move from uncertainty to momentum.
This work shows up in several ways:
Supporting founders through the Vision to Venture programme to turn ideas into real businesses
Helping organisations simplify operations and improve performance through lean thinking
Sharing real business stories and insights through the Vision to Venture YouTube channel
The focus has always been the same. Help people build something real.
Why Recognition Matters
Awards are not the goal. The real reward is seeing businesses gain clarity, confidence and traction. However, recognition like this helps shine a light on the importance of structured thinking in entrepreneurship. Too many founders are encouraged to chase hype, trends or shortcuts.
Real progress usually comes from something much simpler:
Understanding the problem.
Creating real value for customers.
Building systems that allow the business to grow.
Looking Ahead
2026 is shaping up to be an exciting year for Go True North and the wider Vision to Venture community.
There are plans to expand the start-up programme, grow the YouTube platform further, and continue supporting founders who want to turn their ideas into sustainable businesses.
Winning the E2 Media Awards of Excellence 2026 Award of Excellence is a great reminder that the work is heading in the right direction.
Now it is time to keep building.
