Overview
Founded by Jeroen De Wit in Ghent, Teamleader builds software for small and medium businesses to manage their sales pipeline, projects, invoicing, and customer relationships in one integrated platform. The product is particularly strong in the Benelux market and has expanded into Germany and other European markets.
With over 11,000 customers and 300+ employees, Teamleader sits in an important part of the Belgian SaaS ecosystem: B2B tools for European SMEs. The company acquired Clientify to strengthen its Spanish-speaking market presence.
Teamleader is one of several Ghent-based SaaS companies that collectively make the city a notable hub for B2B software in Europe.

- On 3 December I'm speaking at the very first AI for Marketers Meetup in Ghent. My talk: The End of the Data/Creative Divide. How the Best Teams Win on Meta in 2027. The short version: on Meta, the creative now does the targeting. For years, performance teams were split in two. The data people built audiences, set bids and moved budgets.

Daar bleef ik over nadenken na KMO Tech Night in het Wintercircus Ghent vorige week, georganiseerd door Teamleader en Wintercircus binnen Flanders Technology & Innovation. Met onder meer Yuki, Bizzy, Donna en Cashplannr zag je hoe ver AI vandaag al zit in de software die kmo’s dagelijks gebruiken. Met dezelfde mensen veel meer realiseren: daar geloof ik ook in. Maar ik heb in twintig jaar al een paar van die
- A couple of concrete takeaways for business owners wanting to accelerate AI adoption in their teams ✨ you don't need a perfect plan. you literally just need to start. you already have champions and early adopters in your teams - empower them ✨ with AI, the limit is our imagination. so don't start with prescriptive solutions towards your teams, start with problems worth solving. remember, whats hard for us is easy for AI and whats easy for us is hard for AI. ✨ AI is ONLY as good as the context you give it. So when it falls short on
