Jonas Dhaenens
Founder & President of team.blue - Empowering Europe’s Digital Entrepreneurs
Jonas Dhaenens is a self-made entrepreneur who founded Combell at just 16 years old, driven by a passion to make the internet more accessible to small businesses. Bootstrapped in 1999 out of Belgium, Combell has since grown into team.blue — a leading European platform empowering over 3.3 million entrepreneurs and organizations to succeed online.
Throughout his career, Jonas has combined founder energy with strategic vision, leading 150+ M&A transactions across Europe.
Under his leadership, team.blue has evolved from a website hosting champion into the #1 digital success platform for European SMBs and marketing agencies — offering not just domains and hosting, but a complete ecosystem supporting entrepreneurs at every stage of their business journey. Today, team.blue provides best-in-class tools to help businesses get online, attract customers, and scale.
As Founder and President, Jonas focuses on long-term strategy, inspiring new partnerships, supporting visionary founders, and leading the future of team.blue as a platform that combines infrastructure, software, and AI to help Europe’s entrepreneurs thrive.
With a lifelong passion for technology and entrepreneurship, Jonas is dedicated to building an ecosystem where every SMB — from startup to scaleup — has the digital tools, guidance, and support needed to succeed.
