Justin Smith Profile Photo

Founder/CEO

Justin Smith is a Tampa-based entrepreneur and the founder of Cray, the dating safety app born out of a devastating experience.

After being blindsided by a partner of eight years—a betrayal that nearly destroyed him—Justin spent the next 18 months rebuilding himself and creating a tool that helps others avoid the same fate. Drawing on his background in psychological test publishing and his blunt, forward-thinking approach, he built Cray to teach people how to spot red flags sooner, trust their instincts, and date with clarity instead of chaos. Now he’s on a mission to make safer, smarter dating the norm for everyone.
