What Beta Corporation does

BETA Corporation is a privately-held US land services firm founded in 2001 that specializes in green field development support for utility-scale wind, solar, and transmission energy projects. The company provides end-to-end services including property rights acquisition, land ownership research and contract preparation, wind farm and solar site assessment, transmission route design and feasibility assessment, right-of-way acquisition, substation and O&M facility land lease/purchase, permit acquisition (state, township, zoning, BLM, FAA), community meeting organization, and regulatory testimony. Service delivery is supported by an in-house paralegal team, title group, and GIS mapping department, plus a proprietary secure online database that coordinates landowner contacts and ownership documents across 50+ projects in real time.

The company generates revenue through project-based professional services contracts priced on scope, geography, and complexity, with multi-year engagement structures typical of utility-scale renewable development. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting wind developers, solar developers, and transmission line developers across 13 US states (CA, CO, IA, IL, IN, MN, MO, ND, NM, NY, SD, TX, WV) and 2 Canadian provinces (Ontario and Manitoba). Cumulative output includes 1.5 million acres of land acquired, 200+ miles of transmission right of way, 4,500+ contracts, site feasibility assessments of 100+ wind farm projects, and 3 GW of energy developed powering approximately 1 million homes.

BETA is led by founder and president Ted Weissman, supported by Director of Operations Dale Stephens (since 2007) and Director of Expansion Michael Moore. The firm operates as an independent, privately-held entity with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or external funding rounds, and relies on direct outreach, referrals, and a professional website rather than paid marketing channels for new business.
