Apple holding an annual conference (WWDC) is basically a forcing function for their teams to ensure that they will deliver new features and products every year.

Do you know any crypto startups using such regular forcing functions? Ofc not yearly because startups can ship faster than Apple

Interesting comparison! While not yearly like Apple, many crypto startups use regular updates and milestones to drive innovation and keep pace with the fast-moving industry @macbudkowski
