Early life and education

Cruz was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico. While growing up he was passionate about building legos. Throughout his childhood, Cruz traveled and lived in different places due to his father’s job including Walnut Creek, California, then Plano Texas, and Puerto Rico. When he was 14, Cruz moved to South Florida, with his family, soon after which his parents got divorced.

Cruz completed his highschool education at Chaminade Madonna College Prep School and graduated in 2001. He later enrolled in Nova Southeastern University, where he pursued a bachelor’s and master’s degree in Business Administration. During his time there, Cruz was involved in several extracurricular activities and was a member of Big Brother Big Sister Foundation, Business Entrepreneurship Club, Marketing Team, and Student Body.

Career

Cruz started his career in 2002 when he joined Circuit City as Retail Sales Manager. He worked for over two years at this firm and then left in 2004 to start his entrepreneurial journey.

In 2004, Cruz founded VQ Motoring, a wheel, and tire eCommerce store. He was associated with this startup for over five years, during which VQ Motoring got featured in several media outlets including Heavy Hitters and Euro Turner. It also sponsored charity events and was ultimately a success under Cruz’s leadership.

In 2008, Cruz founded CRC Investments, a consultancy firm for entrepreneurs that offers advice on a vast range of topics such as trading, investing and also provides seed funding to aspiring entrepreneurs.

In 2011, Cruz started the first family-oriented dating site called DateMyFamily Inc., which was later turned into a TV Show. This startup was inspired by his parent's divorce and watching them date people. The idea was to engage the family and friends during the dating process.

In 2012, Cruz co-founded IMSolutionsX LLC, a marketing firm where he worked as a brand developer for over two years.

In 2014, Cruz co-founded Sebastian Cruz Couture, a revolutionary luxury fashion brand with his wife Natasha Cruz.
