Hello!
My name is Peat Bakke, and I'm in the business of Internet startups — I help people find and build the right tools, relationships, and creative solutions to bring their ideas to life.
I'm also a bit of a traveller, photographer, and a collector of odd hobbies.
I'm always keen to connect with new people, and I love learning about new and interesting projects, so say hello if you have the inclination!
Just Lunch
Interested in consulting services for startups?
I'm always happy to chat with people about their projects over lunch, free of charge. It's a great way to see if I'm a good fit for your business, and a good opportunity to get some questions answered.

Hey kiddos congratulations! yeah nova-yeah peat- Happy Birthday elliott!!!
Hope the labor wasn’t too laborious or painful, nova. ( Good! Got THAT out of the way now!) Now it’s back to reality– a WHOLE NEW REALITY, in fact… later — don’t forget to take notes, pictuires — whatever — first smile first word etc etc so you won’t forget a thing. in the meantime relax — a job well done take breather — now you have someone to keep you up at night and make you smile in a way you never knew how. ;^)

Peat & Nova,
He is amazing! There isn’t anything more exhilerating than seeing your baby for the first time!!! Both girls were over 8lbs…it makes you feel a little more confident when they aren’t teensy tiny….We hope you three are doing well. We can’t wait to hold him…
We love you all! We’ll set up a visit after the three of you are settled.
PS You are going to be wonderful parents!
By Sabine
Welcome to the world, little prince!

Can’t wait to go and see you!!!

Sleep when he sleeps, and enjoy every minute of the exhaustion. Before you know it he will be all grown up and this will be a blur.
Good luck and good health to you all.
