One of the most frustrating events in the life of an entrepreneur is that exact moment when he or she realizes that they are poised on the precipice of a business breakthrough, and get stopped dead in their tracks by lack of funds.
An overwhelming number of new enterprises fail, and invariably starving for capital is the number one reason.
Where to begin the search for investors? There are hundreds of venture capital sources, but how does one know where to begin? Who is in our arena? Who invests in our dollar range? Who is in our tech sector? Who invests in our region of the country? Hours, days, weeks, months, and years can be wasted making presentations to and chasing sources that will never turn in to successful investment.
Many entrepreneurs become so desperate they fall into the “prepayment” trap, hiring high priced consultants with large upfront fees and no guarantee of success to find capital infusions. This is tantamount to throwing money down the proverbial toilet, as prepaid schemes have become the poster child for bad choices. Do not fall into this trap regardless of the lure!
The logical solution is OneSource Venture Capital, the one company that will use its patented FastSourcesoftware to match your capital needs against its data base of reliable Angel Investors. Never an upfront fee and always success based, the OneSource group can be the fastest solution to your every need.

Any company is only as good as its executive leadership. Ohio native and long time Geogia resident Daniel Prechtel began informally referring startups and fledgling businesses to investors over 25 years ago. Long before Venture Capital and Angel Investor became household terms, Prechtel was steering hopeful entrepreneurs to equity funding sources.
Starting in 2012 Dan Prechtel formalized the business model with the organization of OneSource Venture Capital. The company name is derivative of the concept of a single source for startups to interface with multiple investors.
With a target investment range of $500K to $5M, OneSource fills the niche between major Venture Capital Investment firms who are too large for these investments and the individual investor who is too limited in capital. Since the company charges no up-front fees there is very little downside to an entrepreneur to test the investment water with OneSource.
Daniel Prechtel summarizes the OneSource Mission Statement in a single sentence: "We will only refer a prospective startup to an investor if we feel that the investment would be worthy of putting our own money into it."
Company policy regarding referrals limit the matching of new business models to individual accredited Angel Investors who will invest their own funds into the transaction.
Seven Types of Angel Investors*
· Connectors. These people know a lot of people and typically used to work in sales or BD before becoming an angel. They can help a lot with intros or some advice on structuring a deal that will make or break a company. They are in the flow of information and deals and can provide you with competitive insights and early information on customers that is crucial to your success. Most top tier venture funds provide this function.
· Product People. These people are very smart on product and can give you specific advice on UI, viral loops, etc. Note: a lot of people claim they are good at product (i.e. everyone has an opinion) but the credentials don’t always match the claims.
· Tacticians & Builders. These are usually recent or current entrepreneurs or operators. Most angels and investors are great at the high level strategy, but don't add much value here. These angels will give you direct and useful advice on hiring and building your business. This skill set is actually rarer than one would think and an important one.
· Smart Business People. How do you think about what you are doing as a business? How will you make money? What pricing schemes should you try? When should you turn on monetization at all? How do you build a brand for your company and what sort of marketing should you do?
· Domain Expert. This investor has worked in an operating/general management or product role in the industry you are looking at. They can give you industry specific tips, insights, customer intros and advice that would have taken you months to discover. They often decrease in value over time as you learn the industry and detail, but early on they can help enormously.
· The Brand. These angels don't add much value besides having a brand name. Best case it helps boost your funding announcement. Worst case they will have terrible advice delivered with enormous confidence.
· The Filler. You are exhausted with fund raising and want to just go back to building product, which is what you love to do. So you bring in folks who can write big checks that you don't expect to add much value. Obviously it is much better to bring in someone who can help out, but pragmatically it is good to have available capital to fill out the round if needed, as long as it is not from people who will actively decrease value.
