Terry Wetterman

Terry L. Wetterman, Jr. is a private-capital fundraising and investor-relations professional with more than two decades of experience across private equity, venture capital, secondaries, real estate, and intellectual-property strategies. He began his career in the Merrill Lynch & Co. Private Equity Funds Group, where he spent over nine years originating and executing fund-raising mandates. He subsequently served as a Vice President at the boutique placement agent BerchWood Partners, and then as Director of Investor Relations at Paul Capital, a secondary private equity investment firm, where he managed global fundraising processes and communications with new and existing investors.

In June 2014, Wetterman joined Hycroft, LLC, a specialty investment bank focused exclusively on the alternative-investments market, initially as a Director and later as a Managing Director. At Hycroft he performed due diligence on prospective clients and managed the execution of fund-raising mandates — advising general partners on strategic positioning, targeting prospective limited partners, coordinating fundraising processes, and documenting key partnership terms. The email address on file ([hidden]) dates to this period.

After Hycroft, he spent roughly three years as a Partner at APT Fund Advisory, another boutique fundraising firm. In September 2021 he joined ArcLight Capital Partners as a Director of Investor Relations, and now holds the title of Managing Director, Investor Relations. ArcLight is a Boston-based private equity firm specializing in energy and energy-transition infrastructure investments.

Wetterman earned a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and French (Honors) from Middlebury College and an International Program Degree in Political and Social Sciences from the Institut d'Études Politiques de Paris (Sciences Po).

• Wetterman's role is investor relations and capital raising, not making direct or seed-stage investments; a founder seeking early-stage angel capital is unlikely to find a fit here.
• His firm, ArcLight Capital Partners, deploys institutional private-equity capital into energy and energy-transition infrastructure — a very different mandate from angel/seed technology investing.
• His personal expertise spans buyouts, structured equity and credit, venture capital, real estate, and intellectual-property fund strategies, viewed largely from the limited-partner fundraising and IR side.
• No publicly stated personal angel-investing thesis or check size could be verified.
