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.

Operating across 22 countries with over 3,000 digital experts, team.blue combines local trust with international reach. The company drives growth not only through cross-selling innovative products, but by helping founder-led SaaS companies scale — giving them access to unmatched customer networks, actionable data insights, and a proven playbook for sustainable growth.

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.
