Entrepreneurship

In 2022 Steel got into the business of making apps partnering with Australian actress Rebel Wilson. Together they released the world's first “non-gender conforming dating app” that allows users to simply enter in their information and not their sexual orientations or preferences. The app was not acclaimed by many and on the contrary is still relatively unknown according to reviews from users such as https://www.reddit.com/r/RateDatingApps/comments/137txlz/do_not_use_the_fluid_dating_app_00010_rating/ from dating apps.com and peer reviewers for the rating dating apps community https://www.reddit.com/r/RateDatingApps/comments/13m6qxq/how_is_this_app_still_available_for_download/. The app seems to be plagued with a multitude of user interface issues and the success of this service is yet to be seen.
