ABOUT CREATION VENTURES

Built by operators. Created for entrepreneurs.

Founded by Ben Thompson and Whitney Meine to bring opportunities, operators, and the right resources together.

WHY WE EXIST

The missing pieces shouldn't stop a good company.

Ben and Whitney came to company building from complementary directions. Ben developed experience across consumer products, manufacturing, distribution, ecommerce, agency services, and founder advising. Whitney built and operated consumer brands, created teams and systems, managed financial performance, and helped founders turn vision into execution.

They saw different sides of the same problem: great products missing capable operators; talented entrepreneurs missing the right opportunities; promising companies without integrated operational support. Creation Ventures was built to bring those pieces together.

It is not a traditional agency, accelerator, or passive investment firm. We work alongside the entrepreneur responsible for leading each company.

THE FOUNDERS

Complementary by design.

Ben Thompson

Co-Founder · Venture Development, Partnerships & Growth

Ben has spent his career working throughout the consumer-products ecosystem. His experience began in a family-owned sauce-manufacturing business, where he developed an early understanding of production, brand development, and the realities of building physical-product companies.

He later worked across the brand and distribution sides of the industry before founding UnCut Brands. Through UnCut Brands, Ben has helped consumer brands navigate Amazon, ecommerce, distribution, digital growth, and profitable scaling. He also advises and mentors founders, helping them think beyond channel growth to company structure, profitability, and long-term opportunity.

Ben is most energized by discovering possibilities, connecting people, developing strategic relationships, and helping founders build companies that allow them to thrive in the work they do best.

Ben sees possibilities, connects the right people, and creates opportunities for companies to exist and grow.

Whitney Meine

Co-Founder · Company Building, Operations & Entrepreneur Development

Whitney grew up inside a family business and learned company building through direct experience. She helped grow IdealShape and launch IdealFit, building consumer brands around products, content, community, ecommerce, and customer transformation.

That experience gave Whitney a firsthand view of what it takes to move from a growing entrepreneurial company into a scaled organization—and how leadership, systems, people, culture, and financial discipline determine whether growth can be sustained.

Whitney has continued building and scaling companies while working closely with CEOs and founders. Her experience includes operational strategy, financial management, organizational design, team development, ecommerce, agency operations, and translating entrepreneurial vision into accountable execution.

Whitney’s deeper purpose is to empower people to recognize and reach their true potential. She is most energized when helping someone grow into an opportunity they may not have believed was available to them.

Whitney turns possibilities into operating companies and helps people grow into the leaders those companies need.

One sees the possibility. One builds the structure.

Ben creates opportunities through ideas, relationships, partnerships, media, distribution, and market insight. Whitney evaluates those opportunities, turns them into operating companies, develops the entrepreneurs, and creates the accountability required to build sustainable businesses.

Together, they bring imagination and operating discipline to a shared mission: companies worth building, and people capable of leading them.
