About Centra: We Build Homes and Communities

We take pride in building the places where memories will be made

Centra Homes is one of the largest residential property developers in Minnesota. We’ve built dozens of communities throughout the North Metro, giving thousands of people a beautiful place to call home.

We are focused on creating thriving communities that offer all the best amenities in prime locations. Enjoy a place to work and play in the house you’ve always wanted.

As the Founder and CEO of a pioneering fractional legal team, I specialize in delivering tailored legal solutions that drive growth, reduce risk, protect intellectual property, and navigate complex regulations in the fast-paced worlds of SaaS, Ecommerce, and emerging technologies.

With a background that spans engineering, business, and law, I bring a multifaceted perspective to the table. I began my legal career as a patent attorney, where I honed my skills in protecting groundbreaking inventions and guiding companies through the intricacies of intellectual property law. Today, I combine that experience with a deep understanding of business strategy to lead a dynamic team of attorneys who operate cohesively and collaboratively as a FRACTIONAL LEGAL TEAM that integrate seamlessly with our clients’ operations. We effectively operate as a fully-staffed in-house legal team, although on a fractional budget, that scales with our clients' needs and circumstances.

My approach is simple: I build legal teams that function as an extension of your business. We’re not just advisors; we’re partners in your success, committed to delivering the legal support you need to innovate and grow. Whether it’s navigating the complexities of corporate governance, safeguarding your data privacy, identifying and protecting your IP, negotiating technology licenses, or helping you resolve disputes, we have the expertise to help you move forward with confidence.

At the core of our practice is a deep understanding of the unique challenges that startups and scaling companies face. We tailor our services to meet your specific needs, offering the flexibility and strategic insight that traditional law firms often can’t provide. Our goal is to empower you to focus on what you do best—building your business—while we handle the legal complexities.

Let’s connect if you’re looking for a legal partner who understands the demands of scaling a business and is ready to help you achieve your vision.

About Dwellsy

Dwellsy is a comprehensive residential home rentals marketplace based on the radical concept that true, organic search in a free eco-system creates more value than the pay-to-play model embraced by all of the current rental listing services. Indeed, while barely more than a year old, Dwellsy has more residential rental listings than any of the major listing sites—as well as the most diverse set of listings—including both affordable and higher-end properties. Dwellsy’s entirely different approach to residential rental listings focuses on presenting houses and apartments based on features renters need and want — not based on how much landlords pay to show their listings. Dwellsy investors include Blackhorn Ventures, Anne Wojcicki, Stanford Professors, and a number of residential real estate industry insiders.

Jonas and the Dwellsy team have also recently launched their own podcast, Rent Matters, available wherever you listen to podcasts!
