About Luscious Ventures

Founded in 2021, Luscious Ventures LLC is an outgrowth of Tim O'Hearn's consulting practice, software ventures, and content creation work. Tim is an author, sportswriter, and software engineer who has worked in quantitative finance at IMC Trading, TransMarket Group, and Chicago Trading Company.

Since 2016, Tim has been a prolific writer. In 2017, he began his first "side hustle," a journey which was central to his book, Framed: A Villain's Perspective on Social Media.

The current form of this company is split between Writing Activities and Micro SaaS Ventures staffed by part-time contributors.

Guiding Philosophy

Work is a moral duty. However, traditional interpretations of this topic clash with the realities of the Internet Age, a shift partially captured by David Graeber's "Bullshit Jobs Theory."

Primarly, this company exists to fulfill an innate obligation toward productive labor.

Secondly, Luscious Ventures is a reaction to waste, inefficiency, self-indulgence, and incompetence, envisioning a pure capitalist system in which an upstart can outcompete established players and enact meaningful change.

Luscious Ventures is a collection of projects borne out of the sophomoric refrain of, "I can do it better." Taken to the extreme, Luscious Ventures is a bootstrapped private equity firm.

The Puppeteer

Tim's book, Framed: A Villain's Perspective on Social Media, addressed dishonest, unethical, and illegal practices across the internet. This coverage ranged from "black hat" social media marketing and SEO activities to subjects much darker. If the largest social media companies fail to keep up with the evolution of digital deception and disruption, it isn't viable for lone wolves with sparse audiences to crusade, either.

With knowledge of some of the dirtiest practices, Luscious Ventures strives to be ethical and transparent, beyond basic Terms of Use obligations. If you don't think we're meeting that standard, let us know. If you think a digital business is employing underhanded tactics to rip you off, we'd be happy to share our thoughts on the matter.
