Richard Besier.

AI engineer & automation architect

I build systems that turn scattered information into something useful.

Right now, that means building Seastone to help people find businesses before they go up for sale. I also run Advetica, where I build AI agents and automation for businesses.

Based in Frankfurt. Working at the intersection of software, data, and business. Always with something new to figure out.

What I’m working on

Seastone

Currently building

The right business.
Before the rest of the market.

I’m building Seastone, an M&A deal-sourcing engine that identifies privately held, owner-operated US businesses approaching an ownership transition.

It connects signals from public records with AI-powered research, helping acquirers and advisors find relevant companies before a formal sale process begins.

Built for search funds, independent sponsors, private equity, and M&A advisors.

Advetica

Founder

My independent AI automation practice. I build the systems behind B2B revenue operations: lead research, CRM infrastructure, AI agents, and the integrations that tie them together.

The work has taken me across banking, healthcare M&A, reputation management, and automotive. Different industries, the same goal: make the useful information easier to act on.

More about Advetica

A little more about me

I started building websites for clients in 2022, while I was still in school. What began with websites turned into a deeper interest in how businesses work, and what better software can do for them.

Today, I’m also studying Business Administration at Frankfurt School of Finance & Management. I like being close to both sides: understanding a business problem and being able to build the solution myself.

At my desk
TypeScript, Python, AI agents, and a preference for systems I can understand, test, and own.
Away from it
Training and coaching at the gym, public speaking at Toastmasters, and reading about finance.
A small thing that matters
In 2025, I co-funded a drinking-water well through Two Chapters Ahead.
ALWAYS HAPPY TO CONNECT
