GDC moves fast, and so do we. After days of nonstop meetings, panels, and late-night conversations, there’s nothing like an early morning run through SF to reset. Some of the best ideas come to life on the pavement. 👟#GDC2025

Yesterday, we welcomed Tony Collier, a volunteer for Prostate Cancer UK and trustee of Tackle Prostate Cancer, to the ForthStar studio to share his experience of surviving life with incurable prostate cancer. Tony has dedicated his life to raising awareness of this horrific disease aiming to get others diagnosed earlier and have access to life-saving treatments. Thank you, Tony. Your open and candid talk was truly inspiring and educational for our team. #prostatecancer #lunchandlearn
